RESTORE Working or not? 2

[LABAY]

When I try restoring back a few days,after rebooting , says it could not restore.

Is this because there had been no setting changes (likely) or that there was a failure to the restoring process?

The response is not clear as to which.

If a restore date appeared that you wanted, and you attempted a restore and it failed, there was a restore issue. See the Event Viewer for details.

If no restore point (date) appeared, there was no event on that date to force a system restore.

You can schedule a daily system restore:

Please expalin what you mean about "the restore date that you wanted."

The dates are displayed in a calendar. In my case for Feb., every day but one (2/21) are selectable. I selected three from last week only to find the message I described each time.

Is it therefore the "issue" you describe. I presume "issue" means problem.

I clicked on "viewer" and the response was website not found.

Thanks for the feeback.

A restore date that you wanted was a date with a valid restore point which you desired as the target of the restore.

Issue means problem.

Please explain what you mean by "viewer" and the response "website was not found". This does not make sense in the context of a restore point.

Try running System Restore from Safe Mode, you may find that which doesn't work in Normal Mode (MAY???) make a miraculous recovery in Safe Mode.

System Restore will not be able to restore your system to any point (or time) where your computer configuration is/was faulty. It can only restore to a fault free configuration.

Your email recommended I use Event Viewer. "Viewer" was active. But when I clicked on it, it did not find the URL.

Thanks for suggestions. Seems my RESTORE is corrupt. I have no viruses and no other problems so it's a surprise for me. Used it a couple months ago.

Thanks

Start, Run, eventvwr.msc

Event Viewer is a native utility of XP and Windows 2000.
