Re: Administrator - System Restore

Yes I am using Win XP Home with all drivers and updates installed. I am the
administrator, but when I go to the System Properties there is no System
Restore Tab, or if I go to System Configuration Utility and Launch System
Restore, it says "You do not have sufficient security privelages to restore
your
system. Blah blah blah ..."
It does both of these options if I go into Safemode as the administrator.
More ...?

Obviously I am the System Administrator, so whats wrong? I have no
problems installing stuff, and my XP files are all up to date. I asked
Microsoft to help once, it resulted in a disc corruption!
Anybody got ideas?? Thanks

What are you trying to do? You can't access the System Restore files
directly nor is there any reason you would want to.

Please give a good description of your computer, the version of XP you're
running, and your end goal. These links will show you what to include in
your next post so we can help you:
