System Restore
I'm unable to use system restore. The restore points are made automatically
but when I try to restore I get the message "the computer was unable to restore to this date." I have tried this over several days but always...no joy. Sometime in the past, CRS you know, I ran a registry cleaner and removed some "stuff." Supposedly items that were not needed and were just trash. Now, I'm wondering. Would anyone have any helpfull suggestions?

System Restore
Hi Susie,
My suggestion is not to run any registry cleaner other than the Windows Live OneCare which is free (for the online safety scanner). My suggestion is that, in hope that your OS is not actually configured wrongly or even corrupted, you could make your own restore point and try to restore to that dummy point. Please note some antispyware (or other spyware removal software) does DISABLE system restore service. It will be good should you could provide us with general description of your system (like what antivirus or whatever antispyware you are using) Hope this helps, "Susie" wrote: I'm unable to use system restore.

If you are using Norton, that will interfere with SR.
Disable it before using SR Spyware/Malware will also stop System restore. Why were you wanting to do a System Restore?

Thanks for the help, all of you.
The restore in safe mode did it for me. I didn't know anything about safe mode. Thanks again...Susie "Susie" wrote: I'm unable to use system restore.

Susie,
Those links are to the people here who spout the misinformation about no registry cleaner being any good and all are dangerous. Just ignore them. The mvps has dummies just like any organization.

OT: System Restore
Reason and logic wins out once again against the idiots who insist no
registry cleaner can be run without damage, never use one, they're all dangerous, etc.. Half a thought would have told them it had nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Not really. My dialect does not have an Irish Australian lilt. More like
