System Restore won't complete

I'm having problems with the system restore.

My computer had a turn yesterday and kept giving me the blue screen error on start-up, so using my windows disk I managed to run chkdsk. So I can get on now, but certain things won't run, like Media Centre, Firefox has forgotten my settings and also my iriver doesn't get acknowledged when I plug it into a USB port. My java has also gone a little nutty.

So I am trying to run System restore to go back a couple of days.

I can get into restore, and go through everything up to the point where you click 'next' in order to restore it.

I click on next but nothing happens, it just sits there.

Anyone know why this would be so?

 

Please see MS-MVP Bert Kinney's site on System Restore, as it is simply the best I have ever seen on System Restore: http://bertk.mvps.org/

My own advice to you would be to try System Restore in Safe Mode with a logon as 'Administrator'. Note that your Event Logs may well have a clue as to what is going on; see: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/body_source.html
