BOAC - Thanks, yes, I have 75% , 200GB available for restore, drive 'C' allocated as the drive to be restored and I have just created a restore point, (3GB used), which I now try to access only to be told I have not created a restore point! Current usage reverts from 3.0GB to zero! Very frustrating as there are no other obvious buttons and selections that might affect the finding of the restore point, there must be at least two dozen in there, just won't come out!
Mixture - Thanks, yes back up always done to an external hard drive. Being in a rather lowly position on the totem pole of computer knowledge System Restore comes in very handy for doing what it says on the tin, i.e. "undo unwanted system changes and restore older versions of files", MS have a polite way of saying "Undoing your stupid fcuk ups"! I don't have the OS disc for Windows 7 Home Premium, only 7 Professional and I was hoping for a repair function that might sort out this problem.
