1) Right-click My Computer on Descktop and select
Properties.
2) Select the System Restore tab.
3) Disable System Restore and Apply changes.
4) Most of the files should now be deleted. (If not re-
boot the machine)
5) Re-enable System Restore by following the first 2 steps
above.
If the above does not fix the issue try to repair system
files:
1) Click Start>Run
2) type sfc /scannow then click OK
3) It will ask to place your WinXP CD in the drive
Hope this helps!
