Re: Restore Points will not work
Bear
Avast creates problems with System Restores as I pointed out to you several weeks ago. I use AVG 8 Free and my system restore works as it should.

Re: Restore Points will not work
I tried one of Gerry's suggestion's and Restore seems to work well now.
Gerry suggested: "Try turning System Restore off to delete all restore points. Next turn System Restore back on and create a new restore point. Then test by restoring to your newly created restore point.
