Paul, Thank you for the suggestions. I think I have a nasty problem - when I check System Restore in Control Panel per the troubleshooting article, I find that it says that System Restore is "stopped." When I click Start, the service status says "started" for a few seconds, then it reverts to "stopped." In addition, when I try to launch System Restore, I get a message that says "System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer and then run System Restore again." I got this same message when I attempted to run System Restore in safe mode. In addition, there are times when I right click "My Computer" and select Properties and there is no tab for System Restore. This is intermittent. Any help would be appreciated.

     When I follow the usual procedure, I get an error message that says "System
     restore encountered an error trying to enable/disable one or more drives.
     Please restart your machine and try again." I've done that several times
     and still get the same error message. Any suggestions?
