How come Even though I have several restore checkpoints it wont work?

Question

I pick a valid checkpoint, computer restarts, and claims that system restore was unsuccessful and no changes have been made to my computer.

Answer 1

Unfortunately this sometimes happens if the restore points have been corrupted. But, a way around this sometimes is to reboot the pc into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key during boot-up. Then try doing a system restore from there. Good luck.

Answer 2

Well, maybe there is a corrupt file in the restore file itself. try choosing another restore point. Or sometimes, the file may have been attcked by a trojan, virus, etc?
