| | 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". Mike  |

| | 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. |

PS: 99% of system problems are user error. 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. Quote: 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. |
