Hi There, Tom...
 
I created a restore point AFTER I formatted, got my antivirus  thing, 
firewall, and one program I wanted on here, and my stuff back on my  desktop in the 
order I wanted, but I was told to create a restore point after I  got all of 
this done.  So I created a restore point on 11-16-06, but I got  my computer 
messed up by saving a pic. off the net, and I wanted to go back to  that restore 
point.  Im sure I dont understand what you are talking  about.  The picture I 
saved was on the 17th.. so I figured if I could go  back to the 16th where I 
made that restore point, then I would get rid of what  destruction that pic. 
did to my computer.
But when I tried to find what I had named it, it said there was no  restore 
point there.  So perhaps I'm not understanding what you are talking  about.  My 
computer is still messed up, and I didn't want to have to format  again.

I think there is a misunderstanding. When you "create" a restore point,  
it is as of the time of the creation. When you "restore" you can select  
what previously created point to restore from. XP automatically creates  
restore points and, due to the size (which you can adjust) of the  
restore cache, the older restore points will be removed/overwritten to  
make room for the newest restore points.
