My 12 month old laptop - VGN-A217M has been working fine until recently. Now, I find that it will NOT restore to any point that I choose. I don't know that the cause are some downloads from the Vaio update site because I haven't used restore for some months, but that is the only thing that has changed recently. Any ideas please would be gratefully received. <BR />Chatcliff<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 24 Feb 2006 12:54:22 GMT Chatcliff 2006-02-24T12:54:22Z Restore attempts fail https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-attempts-fail/m-p/152922#M97753 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi, can anyone help me.

I found the link in the spam folder of my email program. Thanks for your suggestion. It's a long shot and I don't know why it might work, but on the link Kee-Lo gave me one suggestion was to disable restore, reboot then turn restore on again. If this doesn't work I will restore from disk.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Feb 2006 12:07:47 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-attempts-fail/m-p/152924#M97755 Chatcliff 2006-02-28T12:07:47Z Re: Restore attempts fail https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/restore-attempts-fail/m-p/152925#M97756 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thalamus, Sorry, but Iv'e only just got your thread.
