System Restore SUCCESS!!!

[Havelock]

Thank you to whoever suggested the following:

Start/WindowsExplorer/MyComputer/Properties/SystemRestore/

Switch off Sys Restore by ticking tab.

Reboot.

Go back and undo above..

Did this yesterday and had programme back again.

I'd still like to know why it stopped working - vould it be it was too
full of restore points?? - but will settle for having it restored.

Hi,

Restore Point Corruption can be caused by:

* Virus infection.
* Spyware/Malware infection.
* Improper shutdown.
* Software or hardware that cause the system to "stop responding"
or hang.
* Applications that interfere with the System Restore filter. In
particular, poorly written Anti Virus applications.
* Using Norton GoBack to restore files before Windows starts.
* Due to changes made to files on a system from another OS (in the
case of dual boot OS scenarios).
* Due to changes made to an System Restore tracked file on a
removable drive for a restore point while the drive was connected to
another machine.
* Due to manually modifying files located in the System Volume
Information folder on any drive/partition.
