    Hi

    Im new to this forum and am hoping someone can help wih a problem.
    I am trying to use system restore but am unable: a message comes up saying it has been turned off by group policy and to contact the domain administrator. What does this mean? and how do I restore this function?
    thxkate

    hi Kate welcome!

    are you a administrator on the computer you are using? if not you can't use system restore. Are there other users on the computer?

    There are no other users on my pc. System restore was ok until yesterday. I have used it before without any problems.

    I think you might have disabled it? so try this!

    Hi
    thx for the info but after typing in gpedit.msc it says the computer does not recognise this and can not find it.
