Hi

The System Restore checkpoints don't take up a 'great' deal of hard disk
space - 41/42 MBs could be the maximum. Try turning SR off/on as there may
be a corrupted file - however you will lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab.
Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After
that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all
drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one
new SR checkpoint.
