System Restore
This is not the best place to post regarding problems with System Restore.
As I suggested in my e-mail you would might be better served by posting to either the windowsme.general or windowsme.systemtools newsgroup If System Restore is attempting to connect to the internet then there is something seriously wrong with your system which could mean that it is compromised, perhaps as a result of the unwanted installation of a malicious application or two. Run System Restore in Safe Mode (as previously suggested) since Safe Mode by design has no internet access. The following articles may help you fix your problem with system resto KB 275646 - "System Restore Shows Date of Saturday, December 30, 1899" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=275646) for a solution to this problem which is often caused by a bit too vigorous a use of a registry cleaner such as AriSoft's EasyCleaner and the removal of certain essential entries from the registry that are required by both Win Me's System Restore and Help and Support. You may also want to have a look at KB 275651 - "Blank Pages in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Help and Support" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=275651) which relates to another problem caused by the absence of the same entries from the registry. There also used to be an article KB309663 - "Control Panel, Help, and System Restore Are Empty or Partially Empty" but regrettably this no longer appears to be available. The problem described here was due to the Jscript registry key settings being incorrect - again possibly due to the use of a registry cleaner. The key in question being HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{f414c260-6ac0-11cf-b6d1-00aa00bbbb58}\InprocServer32 where the data for the Default value should read C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\JSCRIPT.DLL -- Mike Maltby Justin wrote: Ok so I got to safe mode and pressed on the System Restore thing but when I do it is a blank window thing that says system restore at the top or sometimes it trys to go on the internet but we do not have the internet for that computer!!!
