System Restore Fails

I have just had 3 separate System Restore failures on my Dimensions 2400, Win XP. After going thru all the motions and rebooting I then get the Error Message: System Restore cannot be completed.  No changes have been made to your computer.  Try another restore point.'  I had picked 3 earlier restore points ranging from 2 to 8 days but all failed to restore.  What can be the reason?  Please advise.

Try running system restore in safe mode.

Do you have any recent (2006-2007) Norton product installed?

Sounds like the System Restore database is corrupted. In that case, you'll have to turn off System Restore in System control panel and reboot to delete the database (it's corrupt anyway). Then turn System Restore back on and reboot again.

Now manually set a restore point and use it to restore the system so you know System Restore is working again.

If you post details of the problem you were trying to fix with System Restore, maybe somebody can help you fix that problem too.
