No I'm not, I am talking about being notified in Win XP Pro SP 2 that there were no more restore points possible, indicating that I had exhausted the cache. At the time I deleted al the restore points and started again with no ill effect but I thought it worth mentioning for the benefit of others here and my enlightenment. Can you explain the extent of the Restore point cache please?
