Default Problem with System Restore

Have you tried turning System Restore off, and back on again?

To do this; go to :

"Control Panel" "System Properties" "System Restore" (tab)

....and checkmark the box named :

"Turn off System Restore on all drives"

....press the [ok] button to save your preferences and exit.

Then go back into : "System Properties" "System Restore" (tab)

and un-checkmark the same box to re-enable System Restore again.

Doing this will also erase all previous restore-points, but I think it may
also cure System Restore from displaying the irregular text size...

I played with a new program (Pluck) that somehow screwed up
the font/size of the various options that are listed in the
box you get when you right click a program, and in general
the text in any Windows box that opens up. I don't mean the
title text in the banner of the box, but the actual text
that is written in the body.

I am no longer involved with Pluck except for two cookies
that it left.

I haven't been able to restore the former text size, so I
tried restoring the system to an earlier date. But
regardless how far I go back in the date, the restore will
not work. I get the following msg:

Restoration incomplete. System cannot be restored to date selected.
No changes have been made.
Choose another date and restart restore.


I used every date back to three weeks as a target date, but
none would restore.

Could the two cookies that Pluck left be causing this?
There are also two Pluck temp internet files that have
'cookie' mention in them.

I can control the font and size of any text that I am
entering in a box, but where is the control for the text
that Windows is entering in the box?

Thanks
