Re: xp original theme problem

Your response was not clear. If you mean that there was no other Restore Point available
but one for today in which the problem already exists, then you are out of luck as far as
a quick fix using System Restore. It's odd that you should only have one Restore Point
though. Windows should be auto-creating Restore Points (named System Check Points when
auto-created) approximately every 24 or so hours of system up time.
