System restore
Hi all, I'm having a spot of trouble with my computer, running slow, programs
slow or won't load, running low on resources, can't download email, etc. so i thought i would do a system restore to a manual restore point created on Dec 24 2005. However when i open system restore and choose "restore my computer to an earlier time" i cant get back to last month by clicking the back button. I am running ME, avast, mcafee security package, spybot s&d, adaware. Can anyone tell me how i may be able to get back to that last manual restore point please. TIA Rod |

System restore
If your Calendar doesn't go back that far, then I'm afraid you don't have a
restore point to go back to As to why this happened, there are a number of possible reasons - (in no particular order) 1) you changed/added/removed a hard drive 2) System Restore ran out of space, and shut down 3) You've reset System Restore 4) System Restore has FIFO'd out your older points, because you've installed/removed a lot of software and/or your SR allocation is very small. 5) malware can occasionally cause the symptoms you're seeing - repeatedly overwriting system files, with the result that the SR archive overflows, and/or FIFO's out older points. You may have a virus/spyware hijack download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/averttools.asp - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/ download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Biss" wrote in message ...
