win7 64 bit is a pile of junk
yet again ie 32bit stopped working - the 64 bit does work.
I went to control panel
-internet options
-advanced tab
-then clicked reset button.
still does not work- restart - still does not work
now all the restore ponts have vanished.
can ANYONE tell me how to get them back?
i don't have any exotic software on this computer
thanks all

IE reset has nothing to do with System Restore points. They aren't connected.
Tutorial if needed.
System Restore
When you get to this window open put a check mark in "Show other restore points".

thanks, but of course i don't get that far!
i even assigned lots of space for them.
there were lots of them
when i make a restore point to get to that page, there are no others.
see attached
Looks like you have none. There is nothing you can do. In the future, do imaging. Then you control the action.
PS: 99% of system problems are user error.
99% of system problems are user error -you wish!
it should not be that easy to ruin, under normal use.
i suspect the restore points are on the system, just not being found.
please explain about "imaging"
i have back up copies of the registry if that helps.
there is nothing exotic or unusual on this computer which is used for email, news, forums and thats about it!
thanks
1. To check for restore point run the following command foolowed by Enter in elevated Command prompt:
vssadmin list shadows
That will show all the shadows (restore points).
2. For imaging, watch one of my tutorials: Imaging with free Macrium
3. You have definitely made a false maneuver somewhere. Restore points do not disappear out of the blue. Maybe you made a disk cleanup or a similar operation.
You did not pay attention - as I said, 99% are user errors.
In the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean up ... Prompts you to delete all but the most recent restore point on the disk.
what obvious thing did i not pay attention to?
or is win7 just for experts like yourself
thanks
