I just followed your instructions and with my 40 gig HD slightly less than
half full, 623 meg only gives me about a week of dates for Restore.....I had
pushed it up to 1,046 meg and it was giving me about 3 weeks. No in between
amounts allowed for me. Is that OK?? Have put it back to the 1,046 amount.

If your System Restore files are going back that far, it's a safe bet that
the control files have been corrupted (are you, or have you been, using
Norton software?).

You should reset System Restore - which should clear the data....
To Reset System Restore -
System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and check
"Disable System Restore",
Apply and IMMEDIATELY reboot.
This will flush you restore folder and erase all checkpoints, then,
System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and uncheck
"Disable System Restore",
Apply and again IMMEDIATELY reboot.
This should now automatically create a new checkpoint immediately
following
the restart.
Finally adjust the space allocated to the restore folder,
System | Performance | File System | Hard Disk and adjust the restore
slider
to your preferred setting.

Most people find that a setting of 200-300MB is sufficient to hold 10-15
days worth of restore points, unless you are doing a lot of
installs/uninstalls, or installing large applications (such as Office).
