Mamie, unless you showed us your step-by-step in system restore, it's
impossible to tell you why. The only way is to show you my way of syst.
restore , in case it's different than yours :-
1. open Control Panel, choose BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER
2. choose system restore
3. under RESTORE SYSTEM FILES & SETTINGS, check CHOOSE A DIFFERENT
RESTORE POINT , click NEXT
4. pick the date , click that and then click NEXT.
5. click FINISH
Note : a) Step 3 is the one people might overlook. By clicking Next without
choosing a different date will only restore to the MOST PRESENT DATE, which
of course won't do any good.
b) The list of dates only goes back about 10 days or so. If your
problem started beyond the time limit, your restoe is not going to help at
all. In that case, you will have to re-install you operating system ,
drivers&utilities disks etc. Hope I have helped in some way.

There are other trouble shooting steps one can take before being that
drastic.

Hi, Bob. That sfc/scannow command is good for XP, my os is vista home
premium and it did not work when I entered the command after Start menu was
opened. I went to the site and it says it is for XP. But thank you anyway.
