Re: Losing Restore Points for System Restore after Reboot

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Just disable the System Restore feature and reenable it, that will fix it..
and if you have the feature configured to include another partition in
addition to the system partition, change it to cover the system partition
only to prevent future repetitions of the problem.
Also scan your system for possible spyware or virus infection which may have
disabled the SR function.

Antispyware and antitrojan programs:
Install Adaware SE Personal, Spybot Search & Destroy, CWShredder, and The
Cleaner.

On my 2.5 years old Windows XP Pro (with SP2 and all patches) system, all
System Restore Points that have been created dissappear after I reboot.

I have just noticed this recently, and can not associate it with any
changes
to my system. I have had occassion to use System Restore several times in
the past and know (pretty sure) that rebooting previously did not remove
Restore Points.

I've used the same the same virus protection (Symantec) since day one, and
now must remember to create a Restore Point after any reboot, which isn't
too
much trouble, but I'll like to get the old behavior back (just in case I
forget).
