well, after noting that my system restore function was turned off, and after running the wormblaster fixer ( no bug found), I tried to turn ON the system restore. My system hung and I had to reboot. Now I remember this problem from before. I was never able to turn system restore BACK ON!!! I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302479
This article was previously published under Q302479 SYMPTOMS If you have a computer with only one drive and that drive is configured as one partition, and then you modify the data store size by moving the slider bar under the System Restore tab on the System Properties dialog box and you click to select the Turn off System Restore check box to disable System Restore at the same time, you cannot close the System Properties dialog box after you have clicked OK. CAUSE This behavior can occur because the System Restore configuration user interface applies the disable change first, and then the data store size change. The data store size cannot be changed because System Restore is disabled, and so the configuration user interface returns an internal error back to the System Properties dialog box that prevents it from closing. I know it said TURN OFF system restore, but I can't turn it back on. I have tried starting in safe mode, and it says you can't change it in safe mode. and I only have 1 drive & 1 partition. -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
