Vista Restore point

Hello

I am helping a friend with her pc which has a  Vista OS.

I get to system restore but it just says searching and nothing happens.

Is there a way to get this important feature running?

Thank you

Install CCleaner. Open it, click on Tools then System Restore, See if it shows any restore points.

I made the novice goof by supplying too little information.

I just got through removing Norton with the tool and installing MSE which turned Defender off, it being part of the Vista OS..

I also installed SpywareBlaster and MBAM. The firewall is on.

I will perform the Ccleaner when she comes back and report back.

Thanks R.

Hi R

I could not see any points with Ccleaner.

I looked around and tried system restore in safe made and it was o.k..

After booting up it was still like a ghost.

I attempted to get it about 3 times and it kept saying it was running and would now close. I did that 3 times and the went to system restore where it was ghost like. I waited and all of a sudden it appeared normally. I created a point and it had about 13 points. I did not see a place to configure it as in other OS's but all seems to be OK. I am now running MBAM and will be back if there is an issue.

I would say running safe mode made the difference but cannot be sure.

Thank you

Peter
