I am running Windows XP SR2 and System Restore will not restore to any active restore point, even the most recent date. After selecting a restore point the system reboots with the message “Your system can not be restored to this point – No changes have been made to your computer” As administrator I have given myself access to the ‘System Volume Information’ folder so I have access to all the ‘Snapshots’ recorded. Therefore I can replace the appropriate ‘Default’-‘Sam’-‘Security’-‘Software’ & ‘System’ files by renaming the HKEY references and replacing the ones in the ‘System32\Config’ folder from an NTFS-DOS bootup. This usually works, so my question is, why if the ‘Restore Points’ are there does the Windows Restore Wizard not work. All suggestions welcome, good or bad.
Many thanks, Bob.
