Why the system restore will not work correctly?

When I run the system restore I get message saying that it did not work properly and system has not been restored at that earlier time. This has happened several times now.

Hello

If you use Norton which will cause problems with the restoration of the system; clear all by doing the system restore.

You would like to try to make the system Safe Mode restore, because that will often fix the problem:

Use the arrow keys to move to the top or to the bottom of the list of Options > use then ENTER key to select Mode without failure.

See you soon.

    System Restore will not work

    Hi FriendFriend,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    3. you receive an error message when running the system restore?

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to clean boot.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
