The XP Home System Restore has not and will not work since I installed the XP Home OEM ~2 years ago. I found an article at this site but did not write the file it told me to look for in msconfig. I looked for it there originally, after reading the article but could not find it in msconfig? What files have to be "turned on" in msconfig to have "System Restore" work? All settings that I have looked at (hard drive etc.) say that system restore is "on" and working but it will not let me create a restore point, and does not recognize any past "restore points" because they have not been created? Is there a "fix"? Let me know. If there is supposed to be a file in msconfig on the start tab, what is it and how do I get it there. Thanks. P.M.

run services.msc and check to see if the System Restore service is present and set to automatic startup and is started. Make sure you have adequate Hard drive space available for it.
