I'm no sure if I'm posting this in the right catagory, but I recently
used the Live One Care scanning tool from Microsoft and it found an
error in the registy that it could not fix (my computerhas been
running very slow lately), I tried to restore it to my "Brand New"
restore point, but when my PC reboots I get a screen that says it
could not restore and that no changes have been made to my computer
(except that it keeps taking away my quick launch). I have tried
several restore points, but it will not complete a system restore. I
have updated and run my Norton AntiVirus program (full system scan)
and found no viruses or spyware.
I have:
WinXP Home Ed. Service Pck 2 (version 2002)
Dell OptiPlex SX260
Pentium 4 (2.66GHz)
512 MB of RAM
