techinical maintenance

maybe its just a cooincidence, but when i try to make a restore point for my comp, it sez in the wizard that it failed to make a restore point and told me to re-start my computer after which the same message came up. any ideas? i want to get a restore point up soon.

any help is appreciated;

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Prepare for the worst, for you have read the worst.

I had that problem and I found out that it was a Virus that invaded my memory chips. I ran a program, memtest82 (I THINK) on it and found that my memory was defective. Once I replaced the memory, I had no problems.

ALTHOUGH It might not be the case in your situation. After all, It is Microsoft....

P.s. I love your sig.

Hmm.... I had a similar problem before... Even though I think Restore points and roll-back are crap, buggy and pretty much useless, you should check the following: (don't blame me if you mess up, if you're not sure you wanna temper with windows, don't do this)
Go to Start --> Run... --> type 'msconfig', click OK.
Select the Startup tab, and search for a blank entry (a checked checkbox with no text next to it), and uncheck it. (if you find it)

Next, Start --> Run... --> type 'regedit', click OK.
doubleclick HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> Microsoft --> Windows --> CurrentVersion --> Run and delete everything fishy (entries other than ctfmon.exe and any other that you know about (progs that start up when windows starts up, and you installed them))

Finally: Start --> Run... --> type 'regedit', click OK.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> SYSTEM --> CurrentControlSet --> Control --> BackupRestore --> FilesNotToBackup and delete all entries but '(default)'

It *should* work now.



Careful what you wish... You might just get it.
