Help, my System Restore has no Create a Restore Point option..(NDE).
Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point'
option... I know this is incredibly late to notice but it is true. I see no option to (manually) create a Restore Point. I do get "automatic" creation of restore points usually once a day, occasionally twice, occasionally none. I thought that was a bit odd but it has "worked" for me so far. In thelast 3 months I have used Restore points 3 or 4 times to recover from odd ball system (Near Death Experience) behavior I finally got to checking Andy Rathbone's Microsoft Windows Me For DUMMIES, both volumes, and it is pretty clear that I should. In the first 5 or more years I've been using this computer I rarely if at all (deliberately) used it. Now I find it indispensable and I would like more control over the making and deleting of my Restore Points. Anybody heard of this problem? Is this fixable with just editing the registry? What is it's module name / cab file ? ?? Thank you very very much. |

What exactly do you see when you open the System Restore applet? *Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Restore. *Knowing what you do see could help those who might be able to help you. *How have you been using system restore to restore your system? *For example how do you launch it and from where? *Are you saying that the System Restore GUI has a radio button for "Restore my computer to an earlier time" but not one immediately below it labelled "Create a restore point"? -- Mike Maltby Bob wrote: Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point' option...

A half hour ago, I was looking at what Google shows about NG activity and I (thought I) saw no mention of this topic so I opened another one. Sorry 'bout that. I guess the short answer to you Mike, is I see no GUI, MMI or whatchamacallit for ordering the system to make a restore point. And I wonder if that is by design or just due to my Swiss Cheese Vision? Please inform my ignorance. And Thanks Again. Bob in Oceanside, Calif. |
