System Restore gives wrong restore point.

[Dick H]

Around 09:15 I set a new Restore Point 7/5/2010 5:00AM.
It did its thing and here's the resulting message.

"System Restore completed successfully. The system has been restored to 7/9/2010 9:11:16 AM. Your documents have not been affected."

How can this happen?

System restore would have selected the most recent restore point. Restore points are created automatically every day, and just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver.

If you want to restore to a specific restore point, you need to click the "Choose a different restore point" option. See this.

I'm not too bright, but I think I did exactly that. Sorry my English is so bad you did not understand what I wrote; "Around 09:15 I set a new Restore Point 7/5/2010 5:00AM."
