Many Thanks for the reply, I had already checked and the results are the same as you posted but as I said in my post, when I go to recover a restore point there aren't any restore points other than the ones I set manually, the only exception was very recently when I had a problem install a program, a restore point was set by the computer. Does the computer not set restore points periodically? Also I found it strange that when I needed a restore point there wasn't a single one!
Regards,
Dave
