Re: System Restore Keeping Only One Restore Point

Hello,

I have the system restore turned on. The space I've allowed for
storage is 3% or 1075 MB.

But System Restore is only keeping one restore point. When it creates
another automatically, it deletes the previous restore point, so
basically, it's of no value right now. If I create a restore point
manually, the previous restore point is kept.... at least right now I
have two restore points from today, because I just created one. But
when SR creates a new restore point automatically, all previous SR
points will be deleted.

I've turned off System Restore, re-booted... then turned on System
Restore and re-booted again. But it's still the same.

I'd sure appreciate any tips on this issue.

How much free space is on your drive? Assuming it's at least 30%, how
about increasing your SR storage size to 10% to see what happens? BTW,
turning off System Restore will delete restore points!
