Default Checkpoints that you create after September 8, 2001 do not restoreyour computer

For any New User who has this issue on a Win ME system, this is the
cure :

Checkpoints that you create after September 8, 2001 do not restore your
computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290700

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the algorithm that is used to calculate the
checkpoint file name does not work after September 8, 2001.


RESOLUTION
Microsoft has released an update that corrects this problem. When you install
this update, a checkpoint is automatically generated. Checkpoints that you create
before you install this update do not work after you install the update. The following
file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:
Download 290700usam.exe now

Yes - we've known about that one for the past 6 years, Mow - what's your
point?

Just wanted to see one post in this NG, Noel. It's become barren in my
newsgroup reader.
A knock, knock post didn't make it through

Well, you could've kept all the moisture where you live. After our
Monsoon in March and April Showers, it had been very nice here ... until
today. We're suppose to have intermittent rain for the next 5 or so
days. I knew it was too good to last
