Cannot create restore point in windows 7

Asked By Edward Parker 200 points N/A Posted on - 06/15/2011

Hello,

My computer started acting funny and I started to receive all types of error messages.

• I tried to do a system restore and that is when I noticed that there were no  existing restore points created for my computer. 
• So I decided to manually create a restore point. The computer went through the process of creating the restore point and I received a message saying that the restore point was completed successfully, but then I do not see it.
• I restarted my computer and went to the system restore option, but there was no restore points.
• I created several manual restore points ,but all of them keep disappearing.

Can anyone explain, what the cause of this can be? Thanks folks.
