Hello!
there are certain hofixes which can't be removed.so not
certain whether you have actually lost or not.To restore
win.update try this:-
Verify that your computer's date and time are accurate and
that the Internet Explorer language option is not
empty.Please delete the Internet cache and cookies.
1. Click "Tools" and then select "Internet Options".
2. Click "Delete Cookies".
3. Click "Delete Files".

To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:

1. Click "Tools" and then choose "Internet Options"
2. Click the "Languages" button
3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the
"Language Options" dialog.

Not quite sure what you have done. If you disabled SR and started it up
then all points made earlier have gone, as it works by chaining back
from the present, not forward from some initial point. If you just made
a new point manually it becomes merely the latest point you can restore
to - run Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System
Restore, start Restore to earlier, and look at the calendar to see what
is available
