Need help with system restore point immediately! [SOLVED]

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
If you've used the registry restore then there won't be any need for the restore point.

4GB is quite a hefty restore.

I have mine set to 2% which sets that to ~10GB and only ~699MB has been used up so far with an auto one following a Windows Update and one manual.

The reason I only have those two is because I've recently done a repair install and it turned off System Protection.

My restore points when they accrue will go back up to two weeks and where the oldest ones fall off, although I've occasionally seen where the points have taken up more space than I'd allocated.

Try the program again to create a restore point and then check to see if it has been created.

Problem : System restore point disappeared

Why it happened: i didn't allocate enough space to system restore

Solution : I have already used a registry backup so i don't need a restore point

Prevention: Allocated system restore more space

Is that right?

Boggin:
Did you create another restore point and check it after allocating more space ?

I'm a bit distrustful of restore points when using a major program like Windows Repair but trust the registry back up, although I usually have or have created a system image onto external media as a fall back.

Anonymous_001:
I just tried creating a restore point after allocating more space to system restore...

It worked! the restore point has been created!

So the problem was not allocating enough space indeed!

One last thing before i mark this topic as solved,

I used my registry backup.

I want to reverse that because i actually like the speed of my computer after the repairs and  tweaks!
In fact, my computer speed, system boot time, and read and write speed has improved a lot!

PS: Sorry for noticing this thing after so many days. If i had noticed this earlier, the case could have been solved earlier.

Boggin:
I suppose the only way to do that would be to run the repairs again as there's no way of knowing which ones had that effect on your computer - but what didn't you like abut them that made you want to restore ?
