manual sr checkpoint
When you go into System Restore the first page that comes up will have the
options to either restore to a previous point or create a restore point, so you put a dot into whichever option you want to take. Another page will load where you write in a title for the restore point then tell it to proceed and it will create the checkpoint with the title you gave it and the date and time you made it. I don't have my WinME fired up at the moment so I can't remember how you get there I know on XP it's Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. If Mike sees this he'll give you all the info you will ever need for SR. g Joan -- Joan Archer http://www.freewebs.com/crossstitcher http://lachsoft.com/photogallery "serena" wrote in message ... how do i create a system restore checkpoint manually? |

manual sr checkpoint
Click the button to create a checkpoint and then when prompted enter
whatever text you like to identify the checkpoint. By clicking System Restore | Create checkpoint you ARE creating a manual checkpoint - or you are when you click next after entering your description. You only need to make a manual checkpoint if you are going to make changes to your system and are unsure whether those changes will, of themselves, create a checkpoint. Note that the system should be automatically creating a checkpoint roughly daily or every ten hours if the system is left running. -- Mike Maltby serena wrote: thnx joan. i know how to get to all that, its just when i have to type something in the bar to do it manually i really am not sure what to type in there, because i really cant remember the exact date that i did my last syatem restore. so that was my question, how do i know what to put in the open box to do it manually? |

You CANNOT create a System Restore point for an earlier time. You CANNOT create a System Restore point for ANY date or time other than NOW!

The very first thing you need to do is give full details of a) what you
are trying to do and b) what happens when you do this. Remember you are the only one who can see your screen so you need to post full details of all messages, etc. -- Mike Maltby serena wrote: THNX MIKE...BUT ITS NOT CREATING ANYTHING AT ALL. SO WHAT DO U THINK MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED? |

Two comments;
1). I'm reading that no restore points are being created, and if that's so, then I would think that she needs to download the patch for SR (290700). 2). I think Serena is also saying that she doesn't know what description to type in the open box when she attempts to do a manual system restore. If that's correct Serena, you could simply type PRE X INSTALL or PRE X UNINSTALL where X is the software you are installing or uninstalling. Hope this helps.

I'm reading that for whatever reason serena has no restore points, and that she is trying to manually create one to restore back to, which is not possible.

"serena" wrote in message ... how do i create a system restore checkpoint manually? Select "Create a restore point" and then type in the box: "System CheckPoint", without the quotation marks. The system will do the rest, unless something is missing. In that case you would have to follow Mike's instructions carefully. Harry. |
