Randell Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I was wondering if there is a way to get my system restore to go back a month or so. It seems that it is set to make one for each day or time on power up. But there are only a few points there for one or two days.I would like to reset it back a month or more to get rid of some small but persistant little problems Going back one days is good when I down load something that doesn't work out and want to get back. But to go a bit deeper when it was healther and faster would be great if possible thanks Randell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 It has been a while since I did it, but there is no problem going back a longer time, as long as there is a system restore point. Just look at the calender when you do a system restore and choose the appropriate date with a restore point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Traveller Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Older restore points should still be there, scroll back through the calendar interface by month, however, points are overwritten as space becomes a premium or if System Restore is disabled and then restarted existing historic points are lost. Regards Typing and then on the phone see Mario has just said this too. Edited August 13, 2009 by A_Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwuk Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 If the calendar has a system restore point available then yes it is possible. When the System Restore wizard starts just select the 'Restore my computer to a different time' (it is worded something like that) and then browse the calendar and pick the restore point you want.

Namphonny Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Will give that a try thanks guysRandell Make sure that you have allocated enough storage space to go back a long time. Right click on My Computer then properties > system restore. Nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardog Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If it is a genuine Microsoft disc it will automatically restore at frequent intervals. if you do not ever update(which I do not) you get very infrequent restore points. You can create a restore point as many times a day you like manually. When I am doing a lot of fresh program installs or updates of any type I create a point to go back to in case there is a problem.
