resize system restore space?
I just did a cmd prompt because my system c: gb's were disappearing every day now I get them all back and today it went up 2 extra gbs now, is this normal?

Am I missing something here? Having 871 GB is still a lot of free space. I'm not sure what you're worried about.
(Need to move some stuff to my external 1.5tb)
And yeah Chyron, that was also my unspoken response XD
Do you mean that your HDD space is constantly depleting despite the lack of installing any software, and that 871GB is the lowest amount thus far where once you had much more? Or are you saying that your HDD in "My Computer" said 872GB at one time, and 871 shortly thereafter and you're not sure why?
I must tell you that if you are only looking at the value given in "My Computer," there is most certainly rounding involved, and the amount of difference made quite possibly is much less than a full gigabyte.
Secondly, your Virtual Memory pagefile is probably set to allow Windows to dynamically adjust it (and it should be set that way, imo) so I would consider that as a factor in your amount of available data storage. I wouldn't worry about it, though.
And thirdly, what you're basically saying is that you have a terabyte hdd (the amount of available space is actually less than 1TB because of binary wherein 1 trillion bytes does not actually equal 1TB) and that you have used up only of 45GB of it. Think about this: 916-871=45GB. Fourty-five gigabites are being used out of an available nine hundred sixteen. I have 465GB of total space, have been filling it up with games and such yet still have 112GB free at present, and I'm not worried about it yet.
Even if you had twenty times the amount of data stored that you currently have (45 x 20=900), you still would have space left. You still have a very long way to go indeed before I would even consider worrying about this at all.
In any case, you don't need to run a system restore to repair minor registry errors anyway. To do so would be overkill. Certainly if you had serious problems then you should consider that, but the issue you're having is far from serious, if even related to registry errors at all.
If you're really worried about it, you can run chkdsk c: /f from a command prompt, and say yes when it asks to perform it at next startup. There are freeware registry cleaners you can use, but I'm not sure to recommend any at this point since I'm not even sure why you think your registry has problems in the first place.
