Should be easy:

Boot into safe mode by tapping F8 as soon as you turn ur machine on. Choose
safe mode from the list you get, then press enter twice.

Log into the administrator account when the login appears.

U'll get a message mentioning system restore, click NO.

Pick adat when U know the machine was OK and then keep clicking yes and OK.

Ur machine should re-boot and then work just as it was at the time you've
restored it to.

Hope this helps
