• System Restore indicates an unspecified error has provisioned & you files have not been changed?

  When I try to use the system restore, I get this error as follows... (an unspecified error has provisioned & you files have not changed) I get this same error even using different activation & restore points. I don't know how you can even get an UNSPECIFIED error, seems to me if a mistake has provisioned & he knows it's a mistake he would know what is the error. In my opinion, this error message no sense at all... I'd be happy to hear this error message explained or all thoughts. Thanks for any help...

  Kind regards

  I get the message "system restore has been transformed to group policy. to turn on system restore contact your domain administrator"does that mean

  This means that the function of system restore has become disabled, possibly through a group policy.

  To re - activate:

  1. click on start, run and type regedit.exe, and then press enter

  2. navigate to the following key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-policies-Microsoft-Windows NT------SystemRestore

  In the right pane:

  1 delete the value DisableConfig
  2 delete the value DisableSR
  3. exit the registry editor.
  4 reboot.

  In Windows XP Professional, you can accomplish the above by using Group Policy Editor.

  1. click on start, run and type GPEDIT. MSC
  2. navigate to this path:

  Computer configuration-> administrative templates-> system-> system restore

  3. set turn off unconfigured system restore
  4. set the disable configuration not configured
  5. exit the Group Policy Editor
  6 reset.
