system restore and lost programme

[Letitia McGillivray]

today I seemed to have lost macromedia so says a pop up window stating it
cannot find. yet found it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
also C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10. any help on this please

Also having some hanging problems (freezing) since I am not pc wiz I thought
restoring system may help. well it will not work although it is enabled.

Calendar dates are in bold and I have tried a few but it will not restore is
there anything I can do

Help appreciated, thank you
April

Hi April,

Was the system restored, or does System Restore fail to restore?

Hi Bert

Well, followed instructions as advised, no go.
First time on any computer that I have owned as this problem occurred,
frustrating really. I bought this one in November so it is not old.

Only message is the one at the end of System Restore "Your computer cannot
be restored to ..." have tried a few restore points.

Thank you for your help, and patience,
Have a great day
April

Have you tried running System Restore from Safe Mode?

Are there any Norton applications installed? If so take a look at the
following article.

Hi Bert,
I hope that I performed your suggestions correctly, but still no System
Restore. I noticed how many others are having the same problem, at least one
with a new computer, it makes one wonder if this problem is inherent with XP
(pro), for so many to be having the same difficulty with System Restore.
Along with this problem, I still cannot stop the pop up error occurring as
mentioned in my earlier e-mail. Grrrrrrrr!!

Thank you for you input into these problems,
Have a great day,
April

Hi April,

I would like to send you to the AumHa Forums and have you run a HJT log to
rule out infection.

Please read the *Announcement* at the top of the page before doing so.
