System Restore Points WinMe
C:\ Total Space 12.2 GB
Used Space 4.13 GB Free Space 8.11 GB SR Space Allocated 460MB It automatically deletes the all SR points without any warning or any error message. I have tried by clearing and resetting but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. |

AAH,
More information required. For example when are the SR checkpoints being deleted? On boot up or at some other time? What changes have you made to your system since system restore was working correctly? 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? -- Mike Maltby AAH wrote: C:\ Total Space 12.2 GB Used Space 4.13 GB Free Space 8.11 GB SR Space Allocated 460MB It automatically deletes the all SR points without any warning or any error message.

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". Mart "Mike M" wrote in message ... 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? -- Mike Maltby AAH wrote: More information required. For example when are the SR checkpoints being deleted?

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).

WHEN does it clear the SR points?
WHAT AV do you have installed? ARE YOU running any other OS in a dual-boot configuration? ARE YOU using any registry cleaners? -- Noel Paton (MVP 2002-2006) (CrashFixPC) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk "AAH" wrote in message ...

Hmmm - assuming that Norman hasn't upgraded (rather than just updated)
itself, then I'd be VERY surprised if the AV protection you're getting is anything like adequate! I've never actually seen Norman running, but I also can't recall any instances of it causing problems in ME..... The Norman website doesn't even acknowledge that 'Norman Data Defence System' exists, so when was your last AV update?? ....All of which is beside the point - which is to get SR working properly again! CleanReg3 seems to be fairly innocuous as registry cleaners go - but it still isn't worth the paper it's written on - so I'd dump it (what do you use it for?), even though I can't see it causing your current problems. ....I'll have to come back to you Noel "AAH" wrote in message ...
