Mark, Thanks so much for the helpful tools. I have some additional
questions after looking at your links: When I do the system restore, will I
lose any files I cannot access to back up? When I go into safe mode, would I
be able to back up those files before system restore if I go into the safe
mode with command prompts?

Thanks again in advance!

System Restore does not affect any of your personal data. It's very safe.
