Each time I try to create a restore point or restore back to a previous
restore point, the system quits responding. I installed Norton Internet
Security a few weeks ago -- the only thing really new on my computer. I
disabled it and still cannot get this feature to work.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Turn off System Restore. Reboot. Turn it back on. This will erase all of
your previous restore points, which were corrupted anyway. That's why System
Restore didn't work.

Hi,

Let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may
have been created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?
