Restore Points
If you can make manual checkpoints then system restore or rather the state
manager must be running and this isn't the cause of your problem. There can be many reasons for lack of regular automatic system created checkpoints including running a program such as seti@home, folding@home or other similar programs, or because a background application is fooling Win Me's state manager.exe 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 doesn't seem to affect all ZA users (including myself). This problem seems though to have been fixed in the newer 4.x version of ZA Pro. Similar problems have been experienced by BlackIce users and other software firewalls have also been reported to cause some users similar problems. 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). --?
