Not wonderful, it takes plenty of space + doesn't work when some virus or worn is in your comp + it doesnt work in 90% of other cases

4. System Restore Only Works For 2008 - Windows XP professional (6)

   Alright, I was being the smart kid that I am (sarcasm) and decided to screw with my registry for new
   years. (Well, actually I was just checking out a key for a program I have). I ended up deleting the
   key for my program in my registry and I don't have the key because it was a give away of the
   day. So I wanted to try and system restore to restore my registry (at least I believe it does
   that); however, when I went into system restore, the only restore points were the ones from January
   2008. It would not let me go back into the year 2007. I know system restore saves...

6. Windows System Restore Leads To System Crash - (16)

   I use windows XP Pro SP2 I was using system restore to get my computer back the way it was 6 days
   ago. ( I accidently deleted some VERY important files). It restarted as normal, went through the
   black start up screen, the Windows XP screen with the loading bar down the bottom and then.. A

11. Please Help! Problem Installing Winxp Pro - (4)

    I’m hoping someone on here can help me with my problem, because I’m at my wits end. I have tried
    everything I can think of, and have not found a solution so far. When I try to install WinXP Pro
    from an OEM disk onto my Raptor drive, it starts the install, goes through the formatting of the
    drive, install all of the software, I go past the point where it asks me for the network info, and
    the time-zone and such. Then it reboots and this is where the problem starts. Among the problems, it
    cannot find the OS, or it boots up, gets into windows and reboots, continuously. I u...

13. Hardware Changes And Now Winxp Doesn't Boot! - (4)

    I've just performed a near-complete upgrade of my main computer. New mobo, processor, more RAM.
    I kept both my HDs and would like to continue using the Windows install I was using before. While I
    have definitely not passed the hardware test (Windows's way of making sure you haven't
    borrowed a friend's HD by checking to see if the hardware is the same as when it was installed)
    I've read that SP1 and up will let you boot into safe mode and reactivate. The way it is now,
    all I get is the Safe Mode/LastKnown/Start normally screen. If I choose anything, t...

    Ok, here's the deal. Every time when I try to make a search if it's set to search on
    mycomputer, or only C:\ disk, after few secund of searching it crashes coputer, causing a
    massive processor & memory usage, and simply halts and block the whole system. then i must reboot.

    solve that? Btw. it's my computer from work, it has been about 2 years from last reinstall of
    winxp. I'm starting to believe that winxp can degrade itself after few years......
