I need some additional information:

Click the Start Menu.
A) Right click on the Computer button and click on Properties.
B) Click on the System Protection link. (top left)
C) Close the System window.
D) Ensure that the system drive is highlighted
E) Click on the Configure button
F) Ensure that the settings are as indicated




Are those settings correct ? Does system restore now start ?

What is the error message and code when you try to create a restore point?

[daveki69]

Its just a grey box with no error code and says system restore cannot protect your system please restart and run again and then i restart and try again says the same

Thanks

You have too little free space on your hard drive for system restore to make a new additional restore point.

You have 9.7% free space on C drive. You need to move or delete enough so that the free space is around 20%

Once you do that try system restore and let me know the results.

I need to do some checking with some experts. Please be patient as I check with them it may take a little time.

ok thanks for your help

We have a path forward!

• Click Start, click Run, type CMD in the Open box, and then press Enter.
• Type Net Start at the command prompt to make sure that the System Restore Service is up and is running. It should be in the alphabetical list.

If the System Restore Service is not listed, type net start "System Restore Service" (make sure to include the quotes), and then press Enter.

What error message or code do you get if it does not start?
