System Restore Failure

Several times of late as I have tried to use the system restore feature, it
has told me that the operation failed. I tried again today to restore to a
point where I had installed the Avery Wizard, which I was having trouble
getting out of my system. Again, it told me that it could not complete the
restore.

I thought it might have something to do with my Norton Anti-Virus/Internet
Security, so I disabled it and tried a restore point from a few days before.
Again it failed.

Does anyone have any idea about what the problem may be?

Thanks
 
What Firewall?

What is your version of Norton? It must remain a front runner even
though you think you disabled it!

Gerry,

It's Norton Internet Security 2008

I disabled the auto protect, not the firewall as I though system restore was
an internal matter.

Gerry,

I looked at the doc you sent. That seems to cover the problem.

Thanks

Richard

You're welcome Richard.

My question regarding a firewall was directed to determining whether you
were using a third party firewall. Zone Alarm, amongst others, is known
to cause problems so it is always sensible when troubleshooting System
Restore to ask the question.
