 |
|
|
| I have used Microsoft's System Restore numerous times, but every once in awhile I get "Cannot restore the computer to an earlier restore point, no changes have been made to your computer". I really need to restore my computer now, but it wouldn't work. Anybody want to help? |

yeah, ok. just follow BRIL:
1. Backup everything.
2. Reformat your harddrive(s).
3. Install windows.
4. Load the crap back on
or find a better restore program, becuase MSrestore allways messes up unless you config it rite, ei: excess HDD space and never delete old info. |

| thanks, but I know how to set a restore point. My problem is when a restore point I created a couple of days ago, doesn't restore. I might get around to reformating my hard drive by installing windows pro... but I don't wnat to lose my programs. I do have a lot of junk though |

| No, my computer isn't obsolete, it rocks. System Restore is like its only problem, and that's only every once in awhile. My computer is an Athlon 64 3200, Asus A8V Deluxe, 1 gig of ram and a radeon x700 pro graphics card. Not my problem, just Windows. |
