>>If you want to store more restore points then you go to your system properties, system protection, select the primary OS drive (C: drive), then click Configure.  You can adjust your system restore settings including increasing the amount of disk space reserved for system restores.



does not let me press configure

I am using windows vista
You can increase the amount of restore point space with the shadowstorage method I outlined above.

Open a command prompt and type;  vssadmin /? and see how to use the resize command. This works in Vista.
