Hi Cow,

To Follow-up on my System Restore problem: Checkpoint dates had disappeared. I searched the Windows Knowledge Base and came up with an article that deals with the problem but need help as it doesn't seem to explain what happened.

support.microsoft.com

Specifically SYMPTOMS
When you examine the settings for the System Restore utility, you may observe that System Restore is suspended even though you have enough free disk space on the system drive. If you attempt to start System Restore, you may receive the following message:

System Restore is suspended because there is not enough disk space available on the system drive (drive letter). To restart System Restore, ensure at least 200 megabytes (MB) of free disk space are available on this drive.

Do you want to start Disk Cleanup to free more disk space now?
Yes No
CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the following conditions are true:
A drive that is not a system drive that has System Restore enabled on it has reached less than 50 MB of free disk space.
A copy, delete, modify operation was made to a file that is monitored by System Restore on such drive.
This will cause System Restore to suspend across the system


My system is now working fine but I am trying to figure out why this happened. My hard drive is 60 gigs so it's not like I didn't have enough space. System restore is set for maximum space 12%.

I'm not sure what is meant by the second set of potential causes - that is the modification of files that are monitored by system restore.

The only thing I have done recently is to use a portable USB Jump Drive and that would not have enough space if it were being monitored. However, I checked under System Restore settings and this drive does not show up as being monitored.

thanks again.
