System Restore

I have just noticed that my system restore seems to have stopped working. I
can access it ok but no restore points, checkpoints etc have been created
since May. I've tried to look in the help files - all that seems to do is
suggest ensuring a box - "Turn Off Ststem Restore" is unchecked - it is.

Can any one help please? Thanks.

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting tips for System Restore in Windows XP.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in the right pane to
sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the
upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the
information for each of the two event here. This will help us in diagnosing the problem.
