system restore not working

Hi Beeb,

Here are some troubleshooting tips for System Restore in Windows XP.
Please post the event information from Event Viewer as suggested in
the page below along with any other error message generated by System
Restore. This will help us in diagnosing the problem.
System Restore Failures to restore:

There's a good chance the existing restore points are corrupt and will
need to be purged by disabling and enabling System Restore.

I had the same problem and it was fixed by using the "Fix Blank
Calendar" script from:
http://home.earthlink.net/~mvp_bert/html/srfail.html

Look under the scripts tab on the left of the page.

Yes I know, it's my web site.
Beeb didn't say the calendar was empty, but that the present restore
points did not work.
The script in question is to correct the Registry associations that
cause this blank calendar.

My calendar wasn't empty either, but using the registry fix did correct
my problem of all my restore points wouldn't work. I tried emptying
them, re-installing system restore,.... They now work after the script
fixed 2 registry associations.
