SP System Restore Problem

[pinger]

I have XP2002-SP2 and need an assist. I loaded a few Google Plug Ins, I
think on Thursday, and at least one of them apparently had not agreed with
my system. I have been trying to do a SYSTEM RESTORE and am coming up
zeroes. I have chosen several restore points off of the calendar presented
and have gone back through 5 or six dates and upon reboot I'm getting a
message that the restore was not successful and no changes were made. Any
thoughts?

Try running System Restore from Safe Mode. Restart your computer and press
F8 repeatedly until you are presented with a menu. Then select "Safe Mode"
from that menu and press ENTER.

Daniel: Thanks for the idea. I did what you suggested--restarted the
system in SAFE MODE---and still had a
negative result. Any other thoughts?

Let's see if System Restore will function in Safe Mode.

If there are any Norton applications installed, take a look at this page.
