System Restore as implemented in Windows ME was broken from day one and 
never repaired. Nothing to do to fix it except to upgrade to XP, which 
finally had a working version. ME took the worst of all worlds and combined 
them together, and is the most unstable flaver of Windows 9X as a result. 
This is one of the few times that I would argue for an upgrade to XP over 
the previous Windows version. And the funny thing is, I would push people to 
downgrade to XP from Vista even after Service Pack 1 was released. XP 
Service Pack 2 has just about the best combination of stability and 
functionality of the current Windows offerings, at least in this 
technician's point of view. :)

Subject: [PCBUILD] ME restore point


I tried to set up a restore point on a computer running Win ME.  Set up 
looked fine, but when I went back to check  that the restore point was 
there, I get a message that no restore points have been set up on this date. 
I tried it a couple of times, no success.  What's happening?
