Re: system restore and help wont open

Thanks Noel. System restore seems to work fine now (at least it let me create
a restore point). I don't get an error message when I try to open help now
but it immediately closes after I click to open (basically, it flashes on the
screen for less than a second). Any suggestions? Thanks again!
