There are no restore points that I can roll back to. I have looked through all the ME Help files to find out how to create a restore point, and followed all the suggestions. I have tried disabling System Restore, rebooting, then re-enabling SR, rebooting, and I still get the same message when I try to create a restore point: "cannot create restore point, reboot computer, then try again."
