[tomsxp1]

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to do a system restore, which i want to take it back 2weeks, i have xp home edition and when i go into system restore i see a calendar with a date in BOLD there but i cant seem to move the Calendar back two weeks, can some one tell me HOW to do this please? Also can I download internet explorer 6.0 over top of the preinstalled one, i think it may be damaged?

I'm not sure about sys restore, but as far as IE goes, just goto the windows update site and upgrade your browser, all should go well.... has for me.

tomsxp1, do you use any MacAfee products?

I believe MacAfee QuickClean deleted a registry key of some kind related to System Restore, which made it unable to save restore points and such. Just a stab in the dark...
