Windows 7 System Restore Error
I started using a new Win7 laptop several months ago. Used System Restore successfully a couple of times. However, about a month ago I tried to use it and after bootup got "System Restore did not complete successfully. Could not access a file". Unfortunately, the file name wasn't given.
Have installed a few programs since then but still get the same error when trying to backout the latest installed program. Seems unlikely the same file can't be accessed.
The MS prescribed "fix" for this is either to go back to an earlier clone of the drive or reinstall Windows and ALL of my programs. The latter is a no-go. I could do the former from a backup drive, but hate to have to transfer all data that was added/changed since the old clone. I do have a "file-sync" program that might do this automatically.
I hate to give up System Restore for the rest of the time I use this laptop. It comes in handy at times. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ralph
