I just went into system restore to go back before last install and i have only one
restore point from five days ago and that was an automatic restore point there are NO
other restore points .
could it be that i have inadvertently switched off this feature and can they be
switched back on
If you go to:
Control Panel (showing all items) ---> System ---> System Protection ---> Click on hard drive and then 'Configure'
Do you have the 'Restore system settings and previous versions of files' radio button highlighted?
AH ive worked it out i switched off UAC recently then re applied UAC ,in doing so it deletes the restore points, cant say i think thats a good thing but that explains it thanks for your help stevie
Ahhh I see, easily done! Glad it's back up and running though
Hello Julian.
Now that you have that sorted, there is always this option in the tutorial at the link below.
System Restore Point : Create at System Startup
I have on system restore, but have UAC off because of a WORD problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Hello billberry12.
It is never a good idea to disable UAC as that gives any malware that finds its way into the system un-checked control over the entire system, UAC is the last defense to alert you of potential intrusions.
I would seriously consider re-enabling UAC as it serves an extremely useful purpose for protecting against unauthorised use of your computer.
BFK i followed the tut for instant restore point at startup without details and when i extracted the zip file /winrar there was only one file in the folder and the other was a shortcut on the desk top,
anyhow i cut and pasted into prog files and startup file and restarted but there is no restore point for the startup i just did.
could i have done something wrong
