System Restore Problem in XP

System Restore Problem

Its very irritating when you're trying to use the XP System Restore feature but get the message: "Cannot restore the computer to an earlier restore point, no changes have been made to your computer". Well, I can't tell you how to get your old restore points back, but I can tell you how to fix this problem so you can get them in the future.

Right click My Computer, choose "Properties" then click on "System Restore" tab.

Put a check in the box for "Disable Restore on all drives". Click OK, then Reboot your PC.

After you reboot, go back to the System Restore tab and uncheck the box. Click OK.

Next, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools then click "System Restore". Choose "Create a Restore Point" and give it a name like "Reset" as a reminder.
