Unable to Restore XP Home to an earlier date.

My main problem is that I can't connect to the Internet using IE. I was
trying to repair a possible problem (not sure) that might have resulted from
a tutorial download I did from another website that might have infected my PC.
I attempted to run a Restore on my computer to a date prior to the tutorial
download but I received a message that the Restore could not be performed. I
also tried this on three earlier Restore dates, with the same result.
I ran spybot and that was OK. Also did a anti-virus scan and that was OK.
Any help appreciated.
 
Thanks Milt. I'll look into this tonight. I do have Norton ant-virus. I do
have SP-2 and am on MS auto update.
This is good information!
 
Dan,
You're welcome. Hope it helps. And don't count on System Restore to take you
back more than a week or two. I use Norton Ghost and make monthly full
backups and daily incremental backups.

Thanks everyone.
This was a two-part problem. Last night, I had to fix my wireless router to
get reconnected to the Internet. So the Restore problem was a separate but
coincidental issue since I didn't have a virus problem.
I'll be checking the Norton Antivirus and follow your suggestions so that I
can do a restore in the future, if necessary.
