the '290700 bug' doesn't prevent the creation of Restore points - merely
renders those that are present un-restorable!
This problem, OTOH, is well-known - and often caused by Norton (no surprise
there then?) - try this....
Do a Search for the file WININIT.INI - if you find it, then rename it to
WININIT.JNK, and reboot - your problem should be gone.
If you don't find it, then try this - Start|Run - enter SCANREG /FIX into
the dialog box, and click OK - windows will reboot - see if that fixes it.
HTH
