Default System Restore Incomplete, Shutting Down Problem

I only have USB as internet connection. I have done several system restore
(after reading earlier posts), but the problem is still there.

I am trying to avoid reformatting my computer, because there are lots of
stuff that need to be backed up.

Thanks, David.

1. If your modem has an ethernet connection use that instead of USB, it's
far more stable.

2. Try disabling system restore, reboot and re-enable it and see if it
works.

I have 2 problems :

1. I have recently installed a USB Modem for my Broadband mobile
connection
(plug & play). What happens is after using the modem, I am unable to shut
down the computer in the normal way (I have to press the on/off button).
Even
after I have disconnected and safely remove the hardware, for some reasons
the modem light is still blinking as if there is still connection. A
couple
of times, the computer indicated that the hardware is in my F drive, when
there is none attached at all...
When I do not use the modem, my computer functions normally. I have tried
using the modem elsewhere and it works fine.

2. My computer' system restore is not working. How do I fix that?
