Problem with system restore - UNDO INCOMPLETE

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi

For some reason my system restore is playing up. I never use it
ordinarily - but after a recent windowsupdate, my sound drivers were
overwritten with new ones which didn't work. I did the 'roll back
driver' thing - and hey preston, I get sound again.

Not sure what happened next but now, everytime I boot I get a message
- UNDO INCOMPLETE - system restore error. I can continue to boot -
and everything works - and no matter what I do - trying to restore to
an older date - or anything, I always get this error on boot.

Can anyone help me get rid of it? The PC works perfectly but for
this!

Thanks in advance

Simon

Hi Simon

A rollback of a driver wouldn't invoke System Restore. Did you attempt any
other recovery of your system before the rollback?

Hi Will

If I am totally honest, I can't remember. It has been going on for
several days - and I may have given up on the driver roll back and
gone for a restore......? My god, my memory is getting worse!!

Cheers

Hi Simon

Don't worry about your memory - we all need to lose it at some time

Try a Systerm Restore to the point before you started getting that error
messages - does that work OK?
