    I recently tried to use restore to solve a problem and may have cused a bigger one, I went back to March 30-06 and now it seems it dose not want to show my home page Road Runner and other screens stay blank i cant use any thing that has been installed after this date. all because I wanted to play Tiger Woods 06

    Thank you

    One can undo a restore point so you really haven't created any kind of a lasting problem.

    Hello nosetolittle,

    You have to re install anything, including MS updates - Anti Virus updates, that was installed subsequent to the end of March.

    Thats the nature of System Restore, takes you back to the way the system looked as of the restore date.

    You write "but the restore will not even come up ", can you be more precise? What didn't come up, the date? System Restore itself? In the front panel there is a "undo restore" option. What happens ticking that?

    Regards - Charles
