Has anyone run into this? Is there some way to reverse it? I've never run into something like that but you could have accidentally removed the previous restore points. To my knowledge, there is no way to recover them. There was a windows update out recently that slowed down a bunch of people's computers. Look in your control panel for patch #811493. If it's there remove it.

System Restore question- Win XP Professional Forgive me for being a little slow on the uptake here. I now too have all my restore points disappearing apart from the last two days. Of course, XP is only being logical and consistent. When you have an upgrade like this one... ========================================================== Q817287: Critical Update (Catalog Database Corruption in Microsoft Windows XP)Download size: 235 KB, < 1 minute This update resolves issues associated with the catalog database Windows uses to ensure the integrity of installed binaries. Update 817287 allows the database to repair itself if corruption occurs. This update also improves performance of the catalog database and anything using Microsoft Cryptographic Services NT Service (CryptSvc.dll), including Microsoft Windows Media Player, and Microsoft Media. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed. =========================================================== Message 19031815 So, as you cannot re install, it only makes sense all your restore points go up in a puff of cyber smoke! Trying to remember the script here... "Do not adjust your PC, it is functioning correctly, you have just bought a ONE WAY TICKET to the weird and mysterious world of the Microsoft XP upgrade ZONE" doo doo dee do, doo doo dee do scifi.com I also notice that pesky patch #811493 has also made it back into my system during the recent 22 upgrades I performed. If I try and remove it, I now get dire warnings that all the other upgrades may not work. I am doing other stuff today, but on the way back home I will be picking up a stack of blank CD ROMS, and be burning in a good number of image copy versions of my entire XP PC hard disk memory. I kept all the images on a separate hard drive, it's filling up quickly. cyber XP "doo doo" it is now for a day or two I think.. pb.
