Repost:
I said nothing about using any Restore Points, I simply asked if you had
one available which predated the install of IE8. Do you?

Please don't read anything into my question, Sam, just answer them.
Thanks.

I am not a non-technical person that can't understand the explanation. I
don't need a detailed explanation

I haven't offered an explanation that needs to be understood, that's my point.

...but if you could at least verify that a
restore point is useful even if I don't restore my system back to prior
state then that would help. As I said, I understand the need to get
cooperation but I think I am being reasonable. I am not asking you to help
me fix the problem; I am offering to help diagnose the problem. Therefore I
need to understand what I am doing.

All you're doing is checking to see if System Restore lists a Restore Point which predates the install of IE8.

Such a Restore Point MAY come in handy later on but it should NOT be used to remove IE8.

I really do not appreciate you trying to second-guess why I ask any question, Sam, especially when I'm volunteering my time here. If you find my methods distasteful, please ignore my posts (including this one).

Good day.


You still don't get that I am also volunteering, attempting to help. I don't appreciate the absence of an explanation.
