Windows XP rollback
-
Windows XP has a (supposedly) handy feature called "rollback" where you can undo operations you've done and go back to the way the system was before. Question: sometimes this doesn't work! Sometimes you can "roll back" to a rollback point, but if you examine your system, the rollback clearly did not work properly - files that were created after the rollback point are still there, some registry settings weren't rolled back, etc. This only happens sometimes. So far I've only seen it on XP home, but I can't be sure it's just an XP home issue (I always thought XP Home and XP pro were really pretty much the same, just in a different box.) So what might be wrong? Could there be something wrong with the rollback point? Or do you have to do something special (besides just keeping the rollback feature on) to get this to work? Or might it be an OS problem? Any general info about rolling back would be appreciated. This is a baffling problem. There are three types of people in this world: those who can count, and those who can't.

I have used it a lot, when working with TAPI drivers, and it worked like a charm every single time :) (XP Pro) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
