about System Restore
Ok. what seems to be the problem is that somehow an administrator of your
computer has restricted your user account to not run system restore. If you are the administrator of your computer the following steps will help you to navigate to the group policy settings so that you can re eble your system restore for your user account. First you will need to reboot in safe mode (when your computer starts just keep pressing F8 until the advanced boot options menu comes up and then choose safe mode) Note: what this will do is unhide the administrator account so we can for sure log in as an administrator. now once you are logged in go to Start and then click Run type in "gpedit.msc" This should open up your group policy editor Expand Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, expand System, and then click System Restore. Double-click Turn off System Restore, and then on the Setting tab, select Disable. Double-click Turn off Configuration, and then on the Setting tab, select Disable Now open your start menu and RIGHT click on My Compuer and select manage Click on Services and Applications and then select Services Find the one that says System Restore Service and double click On the General tab set [Startup Type] to Automatic using the drop down list. Then click start service Return to System Restore in Group Policy Editor and configure both to Not Configured Reboot normally and let me know if it all works out for you. if not feel free to contact me by email so i can continue to work with you to fix this issue. |

did not specify what version is installed. "Cricketlang" wrote in message ...

about System Restore
My system was hijacked by a virus and system restore has been turned off by

Just experienced the same issues on a client's system that you describe
and used Internet Explorer to scan the system he http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/howsafe.htm The OneCare scanner returned Control Panel, .exe's/.com files, and the registry editor to functional states after it finished.
