Here are some more troubleshooting steps to take when System Restore fails to restore:

Each time I try to use system restore it returns a message that the restore was unsuccessful. This started happening after a recent security suite install. I installed ZoneAlarm 2007 (ZA) and have had the problem since. I have since tried System mechanic 6 and RegScubXP to fix the problem. I do not want to make things worse. Any suggestions on how to fix my problems. I have uninstalled ZA, but am nevious without secuirty protection. Pleae help.
