Whenever I start System Restore now, it will show the window at the proper
size as it once was (when it was working) but it will be a blank window with
a greyed out scroll bar.
I can even right click on the white blank space and see properties and 'view
code' as if it's a webpage or something.

I could be wrong, but I used TweakXP to completely remove IE from my system,
and I don't remember if it was working after I had done that or not. I'm
quite sure it was.
Also, I have tried downloading IE full install,and it never seems to be able
to connect. Plus I've even gotten the entire install files locally on my
harddrive and it sitll won't install. Giving me an error. So unfortunately,
I wasn't able to test if my IE theory is correct, because I can't reinstall
it. And please don't suggest reinstalling my operating system, I'd prefer
to find a better solution than that.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me with this, I would constantly
take advantage of setting Restore points, and no longer can...please help
