Vista - missing restore points?

Vista - missing restore points?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:If they are missing then you probably won’t be able to get them back. To work system restore needs quite alot of free space sometimes upto 15% of the drive so if your hard disk is full that might explain where the restore points have gone. Bear in mind that Windows doesn’t keep all your restore points anyway.
