Re: System Restore and Internet Dropout

Hi Adam,

Once restore points are gone there's no way of getting them back.

There are several reasons the restore points can be missing. Let's take
a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may have been
created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?
