It is certainly curious! That's the word that came to my mind - though
whether you put it there is moot. But - possibly pedantically - I would wish
to point out that, if it is just the registry he wants to revert, Scanreg
does a much better job than SR as, all else being equal, SR doesn't restore
case and you are quite likely to end up with lots of files with all
uppercase names after using it, which is in the same ballpark as reading
ng/forum posts or email typed in all caps. Except it's not on the world-wide
interossiter, it's on your own computer (that Microsoft generously allows
you to operate).

Like you Mike, I'm more than a little curious as to why AHH
'routinely' restores "last weeks? rbxxx.cab file". Why he should
want to revert to a previous registry - presumably when things are
working normally - and why he would want to use scanreg (/restore) to
do it whilst he has System Restore to do a better job, escapes me. As
you say Mike, he's undoing all or any changes he has made to the
system during the course of the week including quite possibly data
(definitions) used by his AV application. The whole exercise seems
fraught with hurdles and potential problems - perhaps this could even
be the cause of his new problem.
I'm not saying that scanreg doesn't have its uses - it can often be
the final get-out-of-jail card if all else fails - nor SR for that
matter, but to run it routinely for no apparent reason seems to be,
well - "curious".

Firstly,

Something has changed otherwise the problem would always have
existed. If you were to create a checkpoint now and then reboot would the
checkpoint still be present? If still present how long does it last
before it gets flushed?

Out of curiosity why do you restore the registry each week using the
backup created by scanreg? I find this most odd and means that you
are undoing all or any changes you have made to the system during
the course of the week including quite possibly data used by your AV
application. Does the problem persist if you temporarily disable or
remove
SuperAntiSpyware?

Cannot 100 percent pinpoint.

changes have you made to
your system since system restore was working correctly?

NO Changes. The only thing I do once a week is
to restopre the rbxxx.cab file
The only software which may cause some
irritation is to my memory -- SUPERAntiSpyware---

Can you still
create a manual checkpoint? If you reboot after making a manual
checkpoint is the checkpoint retained? Can you restore to a manual
checkpoint you made earlier?

On reset it creates the point during the first boot.
and any manual point remains in tact during the
boot process.
Both type of points can be restored but very slow.
