System Restore Failure

[Guest]

I'm trying to get my Intellimouse to stop failing whenever my PC goes into
standby. Part of the recommended procedure is to create a restore point
before editing the registry. I cannot get to System Restore. I get a pop up
that says System Restore has encountered a problem and must close . . .yada
yada... and do I want to report it.
Nothing I've tried, including some things in this forum will get me to the
System Restore Window. I went looking for the SR files as I found in another
post and found none.
What's a user to do?
Thanx...

How about entering 'mouse' and 'standby' in the search at microsoft.com?
Loads of information there for you.
