Why are restore points not working

[RFJ]

I created a restore point about 60 minutes ago ( via Accessories\System
Tools\System Restore) and I got a screen message to say it was succesful.

About 30 minutes ago I tried to restore my pc back to that restore point but
I get the message back to say there are no restore points created for the
day. In fact there is no calendar and no restore points at all.

For info - My computer\Properties\System Restore shows all drives are being
monitored.

Can SKS help out :

a) to get restore points working generally
b) to try to find that restore point of about 60 minutes ago - if it still
exists - and to restore my pc to that time point

TIA

Rob

You should not be monitoring anything other than your System (Windows)
Partition, which is nearly always C.

Hope this helps.
