Windows XP Pro : Can not Create a Restore point

Hello,

When I go to the System Restore window, I click Create a restore point, I click Next, I enter a description in the appropriate window, I click and create then the following message appears:

"System Restore can not create a restore point. Restart the computer and restart System Restore."

After several reboots I always have the same problem.

I have verified that the option "disable System Restore" was not checked (System Restore tab of System Properties)

In services.msc Service System Restore is also started.

anybody would have an any idea?

Thank you for your help.

This problem can occur if the system registry is damaged.

You Can try This
  1. Click Start, then Run.

  2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK

  3. Locate the following registry key:

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ VxD \ VxDMon
  4. Change the value DelayFirstRstpt replacing 1 to 0.

  5. In the right pane, click DelayFirstRstpt.

  6. On the Edit menu, click Modify.

  7. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.

  8. Restart your computer.

Click Start, point to Programs, Accessories, System Tools, click System Restore to start the System Restore utility, and then create a restore point.
