Has anyone had problems with System Restore failing? I tried it just for grins and
giggles the other day and it failed. I had to do it for real yesterday and it still
fails. Says it could not complete the process. It lets me pick a restore point and
does a reboot but no luck. Thanks for reading.

Try open it in C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe
or this vbs script works with XP don't know if with Vista.
copy&paste into Notepad place it on desk change the extension txt to vbs.
Open and check if it created respoint..

Set IRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
strDescription = InputBox("Restore point description: ","My Restore Point")
MYRP = IRP.createrestorepoint (strDescription, 0, 100)

Thanks for your response Alex but I don't see what that is going to buy me. System
Restore SHOULD work without command line stuff. The actual message I get is: "An
unspecified error occured during System Restore." Personally I think it is broke
or nearly so! All the best.

Just FYI
I am using Vista Ultimate, and did a couple of system restore with no ill effects.
I did not have any software running - other than those in the tray of taskbar while
doing restore.
