Terry; I am the culprit, of course, in the article on System Restore, and yes, I am using Windows XP.
Prior to my inquiry, I had determined that System Restore was turned ON ( the box had no check mark), and the slider was set to MAX. Yet the OS was not setting any restore points, and I had none at all.
Another reader provided link whereby I could physically ( figuratively speaking) set restore points. I have done this, but have not tested the point set, as yet.
Everything I have read agrees with your advice, but none takes into consideration that the system is NOT doing what it is set up to do!
