    System Restore not Making restore points


    Hi
    I'm having a problem with Win 7 Home Premium and would appreciate any help. My Lenovo Think Pad Edge E420s has system restore enabled how ever it only creates a restore point if I manually create it.
    When I launch System restore I get the screen I'm attaching below. All my updates are current Lenovo, Windows, Drivers and Service pack. When I restart as the screen say's the PC restarts. Then when I Start System Restore I get the same box.
    Lenovo E420s
    Win 7 Home Premium
    300 gb hdd
    8gb ram
    i5 intel core processor
    Any ideas on my problem? Thanks Tim Fitz

    For pending update problems which also tend to ruin System Restore functionality, running the two commands in the link below might help.

    I set a reminder in Outlook to prompt me to manually make a Restore Point every Wednesday. Never leave anything to chance.
