System Restore Nightmare

[Dale Holden]

Hi

Have a slight problem that I hope you can help me with.

Hope this makes sense I will run through what I have done so you hopefully
have a clear picture.

I have downloaded Netscape 7.2 everything seemed fine but it put on my
system WeatherChannel programme.
It looks ok but I wanted to remove it but it would not go with add remove
programmes coming up with error could not open install log file.

So then I thought I will remove Netscape 7.2 and reload without the
WeatherChannel Programme!

Silly me now Netscape will not open or do anything open nothing still cannot
get rid of Weather also in Add Remove I have Netscape 7.1 and 7.2 I can
remove 7.2 but if I try to get rid of 7.1 I get another fault about the
uninstall folder not available in the registry on LocalMachine Software
area.

So I thought I will do a System Restore several day before I downloaded
Netscape 7.2.

I then notice my next fault SR is looking at my E drive not my C Drive????

I installed a new Harrdrive 1 month ago made that my C Drive and my old
drive E drive a back up area for my system.

Please help me how can I get my SR to look at my new C drive. When I select
a few days before SR says Changes made to C:/ drive after this point cannot
be reversed because the drive was excluded from SR monitoring or was turned
off or removed???

I have never turned it off or removed it what has happened ????

Cheers Dale
