Default Re: System Restore Failure

Will,

I, too, cannot restore my PC. I use my PC for word and home. I use SR to go
back and forth so I can utilize my home workgroup and then come back to my
work domain. Each night I set up a restore point so I can just go back to my
domain, and each night when I come home, I undo it, or go back to my home
restore point. Now my SR will show "no cahnges have been made" before it does
this is shows that my F drive (a mapped drive from home) won't be restored,
but I don't care. I can always re-map it at home. Is there anyway to get my
SR right again with out loosing my restore points. I can't log back into my
domain because my DNS is pointed toward my wireless router at home?? HELP!!!!
