can i run the event viewer not in safe mode ? as icant go into safe mode
and
if yes pls advise how?

Run it in Windows normal
GoTo: Start/Run
and type: eventvwr.msc/s
A dialog will appear headed: Event Viewer
To the left click on "Services"
Then in the right pane scroll and locate any listed errors
for todays date.
They will be obvious and marked with a red X.
On each error double-click and a dialog will appear
detailing what the error is.
Make a note of the error(s) and post back details.




just wanted to mention too that i havent been getting any error msgs at
all
...the only thing that it doesnt let me do a system restore it says system
restore unable to protect yr computer ... cant go into safe mode ... and
in
the administrive tools in services when i go there i dont see the system
restore listed there ....

It maybe listed as "SR" or "srs" or SRservices".
Try again
