Re: System Restore

I have repeatedly attempted a System Restore, using highlighted dates and
one Restore Point made by me earlier on.
All the prompts seem to indicate I'm doing the right thing, except when
the computer reboots, it tells me that the system cannot restore to a
previous date. This seems like a basic function.
Help.

Information and troubleshooting about System Restore is here on MVP Bert

Also, make sure your computer is virus/malware-free since malware can
disable System Restore:
