System Retore Problems

I think I messed up my computer because my windows media player does not work, so when I decided to use system restore to go back to yesterday, system restore does not open. When I click system restore nothing happens and when I click it again, it opens but its blank where it would usually ask me if i wanted to retore to an earlier date. Please help.

 

Click start>run and type the following commands followed by the enter key after each one. Then see if system restore works. I don't think it should require a reboot but if it doesn't work right away, try rebooting the puter.

regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll

 

Thanx

OMG thank you so much, yall are smart man! Im goin to college to be a computer engineer and minor in electrical engineering and i hope i get as smart as yall man, thank you!

 

Quick question

Im glad it works now, but what do you think might have went wrong?

 

I really don't have the slightest idea what went wrong. Somehow those files got unregistered. Windows seems to have a way of doing things by itself you know. Anyway, glad to hear it worked for you.

Now, one more thought. Have you tried to see if media player works now? I don't know if registering those files would have an effect on media player or not but knowing how it's tied to the OS, I suppose it's possible. Just curious.

 

No something else went wrong with that, I dont know what I did. I was trying to fix my norton anti-virus but it didnt come out too good. But I just did system restore to yesterday and windows media player worked just fine. Another thing, when my subsciption to norton antivirus goes out do I have to buy another one? if so how much is it? because my live update doesnt work anymore so Im thinking its that.

 

u should be able to renew it at symantec.com's site. just need a credit card mostly

 

I only renewed my Norton AV once, a couple of years ago and stopped doing that. I now use a free AVG virus app from Grisoft.com
Highly rated!
