Can i go back to an earlier restore point than the one the programme is giving me

Yes. Are you using Vista? If so, open System Restore, and at the bottom of the window, click in the box beside the words, "Show restore points older than five days". You should get a whole list of Restore Points.

System restore

Hi Pineman,

I do not have that option

You don't say what program you are using. And if it's XP, Vista or Win7.

If you're using Vista and that option hasn't been offered, then I can only surmise that you perhaps only have one Restore Point available.

Have you only just switched on System Restore? Have you severely limited the amount of disk space available to SR?

The answer to Sea Urchin's question is important.

You may know this already, but just in case:
the initial window only shows restore points for the current month so you may need to click the arrow at the top left to go back month by month until you find a restore point date shown in bold.

I cannot see any arrow anywhere in the window, am i missing something?

On the little window that says 'on this calendar choose a bold date' it has the month at the top e.g November and to the left there is a < arrow which will click back a month at a time and to the right there is > arrow which will go forward.

Would you be able to post a clear, detailed description of the window that opens, when you launch System Restore?

 Thereferee21

Hi Pineman,

It says at the top

Restore system files and setting

Reccomnended restore choose this option to undo the most recent restore point.

Or choose another restore point if i go with this i have only three dates all in November none earlier and no other options.

I hope this helps you.

Cheers

Sorry for the delayed reply - I've been away.

The following link will hopefully give you a clear explanation of using System Restore under Vista.

Hi Pineman,

I can only go back the last five days or am i still doing something wrong.

Iam

So in Pineman100's link above on the first screen you check 'Choose a different restore point' then click Next.

On the next screen you are showing 5 days restore points. Below that is a box that says 'Show restore points older than 5 days'. Tick that box and click Next.

You should then get a screen with more restore points to choose from.

What part of this is not happening for you?

Hi Sea Urchin,

It only goes back to the 6th of this month nothing older than that.

Cheers

Ian
