Hello group, I've posted with this problem before, but have not been able to find a solution. Now I have more information, so maybe someone can help. I have task scheduler set up to create a restore point once a day. The history panel shows that the restore point is created on schedule, yet it does not show up in the system restore panel under system properties/system protection. Nor does the free space on the hard drive shrink by a gig or so, as I'd expect. All the settings in task scheduler seem to be correct, and I can create restore points manually. It's just that the automatic feature does not work. Has anyone experienced a problem like this? I'm using Vista Home Premium. Oodles of space allocated for restore points. Thanx, Chet |

Have you tried checking System Restore for the restore points? System Restore>Choose Different Restore Point.

If you don't find a solution for this I do have a fairly simple workaround that I use. I use this because I could not get Task Scheduler to run the way I wanted it to. 1) Download and install Kirby Alarm. http://www.download.com/Kirby-Alarm/3000-2084_4-10250874.html?tag=lst-1&cdlPid=10260143 2) Register Kirby Alarm. Name is "Anyone", Reg No: is "20532" 3) Right-click the shortcut for Kirby Alarm and under Compatibility, check Run As Administrator, Run in compatibility mode for Windows Xp. 4) Use Task Scheduler to run Kirby Alarm at Logon with highest privileges. 5) Download and install SysRestorePoint.exe v12 http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_sysrestorepoint.htm 6) Right-click the shortcut for SysRestorePoint.exe and under Compatibilty, check Run As Administrator 7) Setup Kirby Alarm to run SysRestorePoint.exe for whenever you want ( I do it once a day at 1:00 A.M.) This should work for you. If you are not logged on at the time specified to run SysRestorePoint.exe it will run at next logon. Of course if you are happy with the way Windows Task Scheduler works you can use that to run SysRestorePoint.exe instead of Kirby Alarm Ramone "Chester GS" <ChesterGS@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A8A5B0ED-9227-4CB9-AC66-4E1B396611C9@microsoft.com... > Hello group, > > I've posted with this problem before, but have not been able to find a > solution.
