Title says it all..but after it “restores” the message pops up saying..Your computer cannot be restored. No changes have been made..Please help me!
THanks.
Hey,
Can you give us a bit more information please, it’ll help us to better diagnose the problem. Firstly, i’m assuming you mean System Restore?
How far back are you trying to restore to? Have you tried restoring to a more recent date, and which Operating System are you using? Do you have any Service Packs installed?
Thanks 🙂

Go to Start > Run and type, “Services.msc” without the quotes. Scroll down until you find “System Restore Service”, it’s status should say “Started”, and its startup type should be “Automatic”.
If not, double click on it, change it’s startup type to automatic, then restart your PC, trying the restore again.

well then, you’re going to have to do a full system restore rather than just a restore back to a certain date. So if you’re on a newer HP/Compaq hit F10 as your computer is starting up to enter system restore, or throw in your restore disks, remember to back up everything you need before proceeding because a full system restore will make you lose everything.
