When I go to the restore option, the calendar comes up with the dates that i can go back. Well when I use any of the dates that are highlighted it advises me that the computer was unable to restore. I have try to go back as far as I can with no results. The System Restore does not work at all, what can I do?

 

Thank you,

ShaSha1120

Here is a guide:

1) If you have Norton (Symantec) it must be disabled.

2) You could run system restore via F8 (safe mode).

Thank you for your response. I know about disabling antivirus. I have AVG and can not disable it I have to uninstal it instead. I have try that also for some reason my computer is not responding to the System restore.
