There are several reasons why the set system restore point does not work.

The restore point of the Windows operating system does not work if it is restored. Do you know what the reason is? Please see our introduction below. Possible causes

fault occurs the restore point follows:

1. by & ldquo; system restore & rdquo; partition monitor available disk space is too small. Make sure that the restore process includes  System Restore  creating a restore point before the restore operation so that the user can undo the restore process. If you are experiencing a restore failure, make sure that there is enough free disk space in the partition that is being monitored by "System Restore".

2. During the restore process, if the & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; to be replaced, moved, or deleted files by the system, or some other application locked, the restore process will fail. This problem has been resolved: Windows XP Service Pack 1 is resolved.

3. there may be errors in the restore point, which is due to & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; file change log file entry with the & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; the actual backup or file item tracking inconsistencies caused.

4. In the & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; to & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; file changes when the computer log file entries to track the increase is not shut down properly. During a file being copied or moved to a restore point directory or to another location on the system, a power outage or an improper shutdown can disrupt the process, causing inconsistencies in the change log. Similarly, there is a file entry in the change log, but the file itself is corrupted or missing.

5. changes to the file (with a case of dual operating system) in other operating systems. For example, changes have been made to critical applications or system files, or a <system restore" tracked file has been moved from one location to another and recorded to another operating system. Since “system restore" cannot coordinate this change, there will be inconsistencies.

6. restore points on the movable drive & ldquo; system restore & rdquo; made changes to the document tracking, while this drive is connected to another computer. The reason is the same as above, & ldquo; System Restore & rdquo; can not coordinate this change. It's important to remember that all restore points are interrelated, so any restore points that were created before a lost or incorrect restore point will be useless.
