Error Message Occurs When Attempting to Use System Restore
This article was previously published under Q261680
When you attempt to use System Restore, you may receive the following message:
System Restore has been turned off. To turn on System Restore, open the System Properties in Control Panel, and then click the Performance tab. Click File System, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then clear the Disable System Restore check box.
After you follow the steps in the error message, and you attempt to start System Restore again, you receive the same message.
This behavior can occur because there is not enough free space on your hard disk. In Windows Millennium Edition (Me), System Restore requires a minimum of 200 MB of free space after setup is complete to be enabled automatically. During setup, no warning message is displayed that tells you that there is not enough free disk space for System Restore to be enabled automatically.
To enable System Restore, make sure that there is more than 200 MB of free space on the Windows Me system drive.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
