System Restore won't work in Vista

HI

Is this a pre-built OEM PC like DELL, HP etc?

If so then try the below, helped another member with similar issue,


The D drive is not being used to save personal data to is it that you know of? as these are on OEM PCs the factory restore partition and always squeezed into a small partition.

Purge all your restore points, and try on the C drive right click > Properties > Disk Cleanup > All Users and when its done its scan click the More Options tab and then click under System Restore option Cleanup > Delete.

Then see if System Restore is active for D in Advacned System Properties, to get there click Start orb > right click Computer and choose Properties > in left menu click Advanced system Settings > System Protection tab and make sure D is not checked if it is un check it and click Apply


We did later on as a low memory space waring was continually poping up remove the D drive letter in Disk Managment (as typically on OEM PCs like Dells they your D as the restore factory partition but tend to use duff images that set it live as a drive) but only do this if the drive is warning still.
