re: got rid of restore points Saturday, January 17, 2004 at 9:06 pm Posted by Ricer46 (23825 messages posted) System Restore is not terribly reliable. It works some of the time, but all too often it doesn't work when you need it the most. It would be best if you switched to a disk imaging system, but that may be too complex to setup without quite a bit of work. Second best is to look into a product called GoBack. But System Restore is better than nothing, so you should turn it on until you switch to another more reliable tool.

It's a very simple program that gives you options which System Restore doesn't. I agree with the previous post - use System Restore while you do some homework on GoBack. Best of luck. Nicky.
