The System Restore functionality on my Windows ME no longer works.

Not sure if I have multiple problems or they are all generated by the same problem.

I have read something in the posts about System Restore not functioning on points created after September 8, 2001, but yet I have used System Restore since then.

But in another thread here I also read about drivers which shut off the restore functionality, and I did download an HP printer driver that I needed for a Deskjet 1000.

I discovered that I had lost System Restore when I started getting a "sys.reg" error when booting up (still getting that error msg on startup).

I thought I could fix the sys.reg problem by restoring an earlier restore point. But the restore failed. When I returned to my restore function all the restore points were gone. I am no longer able to generate any restore points.

I know the sys.reg problem is begging for attention, but I think I'd feel more comfortable if I could get System Restore up and running before I tackle my adware problem.

Don't know if this additional problem is related, but it seems that now when I do Run, Documents my recently open files are no longer there.

Any insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

hey.. search for the file sys.reg.. it may be in a wrong place...

The search didn't turn up anything. The sys.reg I think is something left over in my registery caused by some adware I believe. That problem I want to present in a separate thread.
