Looks like the same symptoms as before.....where some boxes were creating
points and others were not. Mine is still without any auto points. I did
notice that ALL my restore points had disappeared about a week ago, around
the time of the update of ZAPro. That is when I reset System Restore and it
did, indeed, create a new point that stuck. Since then, I have only my
manually set points.
Don't know how to prove it, but, I am very suspicious of the ZAP
update....it's not like they don't have a 'history.' <g> Oh well, as soon
as my other 4 drives get in, I won't have to worry about this anymore.
Heirloom, old and well on the way to XP
