System Restore not working [JSF]

Security software is the trash. Some security software providers are
incapable of providing software that does not interfere
with the proper running of the operating system simply because they cannot
test their software to the thousands of variations
in configurations.
System restore is great and one of the best ideas MS has come out with.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

The Microsoft software is fragile and many have difficulty getting to
work as it should. Microsoft should have dealt with the removable drive
issue long ago.
They could also have taken steps to stop security software from
interfering. I suspect they have made no changes to System Restore since
the early days of XP.

Microsoft software is really not fragile. What makes it difficult getting it
to work properly is all the trash people
download thinking they need the trash. Virus programs for example. If you
don't click on unknown URL's or all
those 'click here' enticements you won't get viruses. I've never gotten one.
What do you mean 'removable drive issue'?
As far as security software interfering, they have to be extremely careful
so as not to be accused of being a monopoly.
How can they prevent someone such as NORTON installing their programs on a
Microsoft operating system?

Restore points are broken if they are created when a removable drive was
being monitored and it is subsequently removed.

They are a monopoly. They totally dominate the market for computer
operating system. Do you think they are not in a monopoly situation?

I was not suggesting they should stop third party security software
being installed. They ought to be able to prevent that software from
preventing System Restore from restoring the Registry to an earlier
version of the Registry.

Have you any idea what it would cost them? (Your last sentence).
They cannot help being a monopoly. They're good. You can always go to Apple
or Linux.
They get in trouble only when they try to protect their software such as
what your last sentence suggests.

Joseph

How many drives is the System Restore monitoring?

You are using the Windows Firewall and not something like Zone Alarm?

Have you tried to use a restore point in Safe Mode?

Yes I am using the Windows Firewall. I am monitoring 3 drives, I have always
been monitoring 3 drives and it has always worked.

You should only be monitoring the Windows partition.

Sorry Gerry, the 3 drives are in the only partition I have, and it is
Windows, like I said, it has always worked and suddenly it is not.
