    Can't Turn On System Restore!


    When I go to System Protection for my C: drive and try to turn on the system restore function, I get the following error message:

    Could not apply the settings for the following reason:
    The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
    (0x8007007B)

    This never used to happen. Why now? Does anyone know how to correct this so that I can use the system restore function? Thanks for all advice!

    Hello Tom,

    You might see if this may be able to help with that error. :)
