Try turning off Zone Alarm whilst using System Restore and then turning
it back on when done. I suspect you will find it is the same point Bert

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.
