Like Bob Hunt I cannot achieve system restore. I need to do it because I get
a 'Recovered from serious error' message everytime that I boot up. This began
3 weeks ago so I tried to system restore to an earlier date but it does not
work. Any ideas?
It seems to me that the Will Denny solution will not be beneficial because
it does not go to an earlier date.
