to free up space run a disk cleanup on that drive that has less than 50MB.
Turning off system restore can free some space, however, as far as causing
problems, well, I don't see how, but then, I'm no MVP, just a plain 'ol
user.

I did not realize you were the original poster. The monitored drive with no free space
will cause all restore points to be purged. Stop System Restore from monitoring that drive
and the problem should go away.

Hi,

The restore points would have been deleted when the drive/partitions free space dropped
below 50mb's. You should have received a warning message at the time.
