Set a restore point in Windows 7 gives these errors

I skipped down to the last one about enable/disable. It says in there that system protect has to be turned on.

I believe mine is off (for the reason stated earlier-- I normally want no interference from the OS.)
To get this working I'll see if turning on system Protection stops the errors.

'Been running without a net for so long now I'd have to look up how to turn it back on.

This has been a help. It might be as easy as switching on that Protection mode.

Thanks for answering. I will mark solved if I get any result.

I have looked at more of the samples.

And I've run around in circles enough. Remember where it said "Search with no completion"
at the System page you show above? That's where it ends with no possibility of correction.

Where your sample shows C: and D: or whatever, mine says "Searching...." for drive prompts and shows incomplete with no drives found to "Protect." I'm through chasing my tail on this.

The thread remains unsolved.

There's no Restore point possible because No drive found. Elsewhere on system everything is normal.
I just wanted the ability to set Restore in case of a problem.
