XP System Retore won't let me even make a new point

Hi to all you wonderful people, have read some of the answers re:- system
restore, but non of the questions seem to fit my problem.

Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2

When I open up it originally gave me the option of todays date and the
previous restore point was March 21st and backwards from there. Non of them
worked. I tried to make a new restore point for today and it said

"System restore is not able to create a store point. Please restart the
computer, and then run system restore again"

I tried this several times, still no luck. Went to microsoft and ended up
here. I read a couple of posts that gave me hope, so I switched off the
system restore, rebooted, in the hope of starting afresh, again, no such
luck. Still the same message comes up. I have checked that the Task Manager
and the System Restore are running and it appears they are.

I have read further that I really need to keep these restore points up to
date, and which I will do so if I can get them working, any ideas good folk.

Marc, thank you for taking the time to give me those two links. I have
actually found the right place here under XP/ windows. I should have looked
round more carefully, thank you again for your time.

For the past couple of months, Idle won't start when I invoke it. I am at a complete loss for why this is. When this happens, they python command line still starts, and python works fine otherwise. Most interesting to me is that a reboot won't fix the problem. But if I just try it again sometime later it will work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running python 2.3 on windows 2000 professional.

I'm not quite sure where to post this, but I figured these two groups would be a good start. I had a very nasty surprise this morning (7/26/05).

After doing the system restore, I noticed that every C# source file (*.cs)

Hi, I'm using Windows XP SP1 with Visual Studio 2003. I add a blank form to a project, then I add a default control of any type (label, button, etc) to that form. When I build and run the project, it gets a 'System.ArithmeticException' error at the point where it's adding the control to the 'Controls' collection of the form. Again, both the form and control that I add have default properties. I don't even change the name.

According to 7.20.4.5 of n869, system() can report whether the host environment has a command processor (when passed a null pointer). Obviously, if there is a command processor, non-null string arguments to system() are passed to it. However, the text doesn't specifically state what occurs when there is no command processor to pass strings to. Presumably this is nothing, but should that be obvious from the text? -- C.

I have an WinForm app that sits around doing nothing most of the time.

Does the application work when the system is in Standby mode? How about if the user has set the system not to go into Standby mode, but the hard drive is set to go to sleep after 60 minutes?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
