21 Apr 10 Windows XP System Restore

System Restore Problem arises sometimes especially when you had virus cleaned up or scanned.

Regarding your “system restore” unable to check, you may try the following.

To boot in to Safe Mode:

Go to Start>> Turn off computer>> Restart.
When you see the Computer Logo screen, please press F8.
Using the arrow keys, highlight the option ” Safe Mode or Safe Mode with networking” , then press Enter.

To enable/disable system restore:

Go to Start>> Control Panel
Double click the System icon
Select the System Restore tab
Place a checkmark in the box titled: Turn off System Restore on all drives. To turn the feature on, remove the checkmark.
Click OK

It is pretty easy but sometimes we just missed the fact that we can use SAFE MODE to restore and fix alot of things.
