|

hi All,
I had a little problem with the pc acting funny so I attempted to go back a few days and it won't work. No matter how far I try to go back, it says, no changes were made to your computer at this time. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I'm using Windows XP Pro

Does it say anything else besides no changes were made at this time?
have you tried booting into Safe Mode first and then, when prompted, run System Restore? _________________ <img src="http://www.castlecops.com/zx/johnlgalt/johnlgalt%20sig.png">

Quite possibly the restore points have gotten corrupted.
Do you need to restore to a previous date / time? _________________ <img src="http://www.castlecops.com/zx/johnlgalt/johnlgalt%20sig.png">

I'd like to restore a week or so since the pc started acting up a bit.
When I try to edit the registry, I get to the last folder and theres no SYSTEM RESTORE in there, only "Terminal Services" Could that be the problem?

You mean that there is no System Restore under Windows NT? As you positive that you followed the correct chain, especially the first part - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ? _________________ <img src="http://www.castlecops.com/zx/johnlgalt/johnlgalt%20sig.png">
