System Restore not functioning

Guest

Iy system is running EXTREMELY slow for some reason. When I try to run
system restore in "Safe Mode", nothing appears to happen. If I run "task
manager" i see the app "rstrui.exe" running @ greater than 90% CPU, but
nothing is happening. What can I do???

But if I lose the old points, how can I roll back to undo changes and fix my
other problems???

Let me give more info on my situation: I have a 75G hard drive on my
copmuter (not big, but still important) that like over night seemed to fill
up. Wednesday it was running fine, but Thursday it was at 99% full. Norton
AV '04 tried to run Thurs. morn, but was unable to because of the full hd. I
attempted to free space by deleting items. I tried using the "add/remove
programs" function but when I would click it nothing would run. I went in
and manually removed files (pictures, videos, etc.) and freed up 10 G. I
tried running NAV agin but just like the "add/remove", nothing happened. I
then tried shutting down and then restarting, but system really started
acting funny (hangin during restart, causing me to shut it down from the
power strip several times). I finally tried rebooting in "Safe Mode",
deleted a few apps with the "add/remove" (2 games) giving me now 15 G of free
space. I tried to run the restore from the "MSConfig" tool but nothing
happend (as stated in my original post) that I could see. I also tried
running "Help and Support" but nothing happened. When I ran task manager I
saw 3 apps running on the resource tab, "rstrui.exe" - 33%, "HelpCtr.exe -
33%", and "NMain.exe - 33%". If I kill one or 2 of them, the remaining will
take the other apps cpu usage. This is where I am now.
