No Restore Points
The first thing to check is whether you can create a manual checkpoint or
not. If the answer is no, post back with the error message, if however you can create a manual checkpoint what follows may be of some help. Lack of automatic system created checkpoints: There can be many reasons for lack of regular automatic system created checkpoints including running programs such as seti@home, folding@home or other similar programs, or because a background application is fooling Win Me's state manager into thinking that the system is not idle although this is not in fact the case. Examples of the latter utility include v4 of MotherBoardMonitor (but not v5), Cacheman, The Cleaner (TCActive and TCMonitor) and Norton's System Doctor where users have reported use of the Disk Health sensor has prevented the creation of automatic checkpoints. NAV7 has also been reported as causing similar problems in certain circumstances. Other users have reported similar behaviour due to their always on cable or ADSL connection continually polling their HD and thus giving the impression that the system is never idle. A significant number of users report that 3.x versions of Zone Alarm also prevent the creation of automatic checkpoints but this didn't seem to affect all ZA users including myself for a long time but my Win Me system stopped making automatic checkpoints some time ago however now that it has ZA Pro 5.xxx this problem seems to have been resolved. Similar problems have been experienced by BlackIce users and other software firewalls have also been reported to cause some users similar problems. Another application knopwn to prevent the creation of automatic system restore checkpoints is the anutvirus application AVAST. One user has reported that B's CLIP UDF packet writing software (http://www.bhacorp.com/products/clip/clip.html) prevented the creation of automatic checkpoints and another that they had experienced the same problem with Roxio's DirectCD. Another user has also reported that CookieWall by AnalogX will prevent automatic checkpoints being made if its "Scan for cookies every .... seconds" is set to a value less than 121 seconds (two minutes). Other known applications that prevent the creation of automatic checkpoints include Tea Time (part of SpyBot Search & Destroy), ccleaner in clean at boot mode and client01.exe which is the process name of DigiGuide (www.gipsymedia.com a UK TV listings app), -- Mike Maltby jvc wrote: My Dear Noel and all other MVPs, I don't have any problems as such but I just found out that there are no restore points in my system restore calender.

No Restore Points
But can you make a manual checkpoint or not?
