Re: Restore Question

Bert,

I deleted the xango file and rebooted. However, Restore still won't go back to before
January 1, 2006. There should be several years of Restore points prior to this date.
Right-clicking on My Computer and clicking the Restore tab shows that the c drive
is currently being monitored. I can set a new Restore point with no problem.

Is there any way to troubleshoot this problem any further?

Thanks!
Scott
