Go to run -> services.msc

With the Services window open browse down until you find "Volume Shadow Copy" and manually start the service. Then try to make another restore point and see if it works.

Have been workin hard on this all day.
I did restore the entire HD to a version dated June 13-09 (Acronis backup)
I then had a bunch of uppdates to handle.
Updated one item at a time and after each one tried to make a restore point.
I could make restore points after all uppdates??

So non of the updates received had to do with my problem then??
The mystirium is still there. What had caused my problem
We will probably never learn.

But i am a happy Win 7 fan again

Thank you for your suggestion to the problem anyway

Michael

There may be a conflict when dual booting Vista and Win7 just as there is dual booting XP and Vista. Restore points are wiped on every boot into the other OS:

Well we will have to wait for the win 7 RCM and then leave Vista at rest...

Leakimtrebe there is third party boot managers that will not be affected by this. The third party boot managers hide all other OS's from the one you are Booting too. The Restore Points will not be affected if the drives are hidden.

 

Windows 7 Articles may have the answers you are looking for.

James i have received this replay from
The Storage team at Microsoft - File Cabinet Blog:
That configuration is fine. The restore point deletion issue only applies if you dual boot with XP.
i.e. XP + Vista or XP + W7
