I deleted a lot of my son's music that had showed up on my wmp. Tried system restore and it would not restore to any date. Any fix for this?

Clarify Please,
You clicked on a Highlighted date and nothing happened?

Yes. 5 different highlighted points. System did not restore.

Go to www.recuva.com, download the program from the line that says "Download from Filehippo.com".
After installing Recuva, open the program, and when the wizard shows up, click Next, then put a dot in the box that says "music" and start searching the hard drive for the songs. When you find them in the list, checkmark them, then right click on one of them, and left click on "recover checked items". Make sure you recover them to your desktop so you can find them easily. Also, Tell it yes to restore to the same drive. Let us know how it goes.

No joy, but recuva found some of my stuff he deleted. So I guess half joy.

This may explain why System Restore is Malfunctioning

Point #3 Points towards a too small Reserved area for these points 200 MB is nothing needs to be 10 times that 2000 MB (Mine is set to 3822 MBs (or 3%) Max you can allocate is 12% but You'd have to have a very small hard drive to run it at that Number. Mine is a 160GB capacity Drive
My number gives me 2 months worth of restore points ...But It is trial & error to get the right balance.

See if you can expand the capacity , set a Restore point Manually when you finish The older files may be corrupt Run the Error Check Program on the Properties(On the hard drive) to Isolate the bad FilesYou Can then clear them with Windows Disk Cleanup or CCleaner.

As for the Files to go that That Needs going into The Media Player concerned and deleting from there
