You haven't created any, a virus has disabled it. Or you turned off automatic restore point creation.

Can you download restore points for a Windows based operating systems?

Restore points are based on the operational system environment, which includes the BIOS on the motherboard, partitions and drivers. Furthermore, a certain operational system licence can be stored in the BIOS, causing mismatches and malfuctionings. On the other hand, most types of restore points do not copy the entire disk image, what would take a significant ammount of space. Instead, they take a 'snapshot' of the actual configuration. So restoring a completely different operational system environment in that case will not install programs or copy personal documents, while making the current system configuration pretty much useless and unrecoverable.


What would happen to the planets if the sun were to disappear from the center of your solar system?

If the sun would disappear from the centre of the solar system, there would be some reason for it to disappear or there is no other way that the sun can suddenly disappear from the centre. In other ways if there was no sun then there won't be any life on earth, nor there would be any source of light, there would be no heat in the solar system and the temperature of the planets would decrease innumerably, there would be no low tide on the earth or on any other planet, only high tide would be seen.

What is System restore point?

System Restore's purpose is to return your system to a workable state without requiring a complete reinstallation and without compromising your data files. The utility runs in the background and automatically creates a restore point when a trigger event occurs. Trigger events include application installations, AutoUpdate installations, Microsoft Backup Utility recoveries, unsigned- driver installations, and manual creations of restore points. The utility also creates restore points once a day by default. System Restore requires 200MB of free hard disk space, which the utility uses to create a data store. If you don't have 200MB of free space, System Restore remains disabled until the space becomes available, at which point the utility enables itself. System Restore uses a first in/first out (FIFO) storage scheme: The utility purges old archives to make room for new ones when the data store reaches a set limit. The file types that System Restore monitors are many but include most of the extensions that you typically see when you install new software (e.g., .cat, .com, .dll, .exe, .inf, .ini, .msi, .ole, .sys). Note that only application installations that use a System Restore restorept.api-compliant installer will trigger the creation of a restore point. Typically, system recoveries are easiest when you know *or think you know* what caused the problem (e.g., a recently installed device driver). In some cases, System Restore might not be the best choice for correcting a problem you're experiencing. System Restore changes many different files and registry entries, and in some cases might replace too much and actually cause more problems than it solves. For example, say you install Office XP, which triggers System Restore to create a restore point, and the software suite works great. Later in the day, you download and install an updated video driver, and because the driver is signed, the installation doesn't trigger System Restore to create a restore point. Now your system hangs on occasion, and you believe that the video driver is the culprit. In this case, you should use the Device Driver Rollback utility because it will address the device-driver problem only and not change anything else on your system. System Restore would roll your computer back to a preOffice XP state, and you would have to reinstall the entire software suite after you resolved the driver problem.
