I'm no sure if I'm posting this in the right catagory, but I recently used
the Live One Care scanning tool from Microsoft and it found an error in the
registy that it could not fix (my computerhas been running very slow lately),
I tried to restore it to my "Brand New" restore point, but when my PC reboots
I get a screen that says it could not restore and that no changes have been
made to my computer (except that it keeps taking away my quick launch). I
have tried several restore points, but it will not complete a system restore.
I have updated and run my Norton AntiVirus program (full system scan) and
found no viruses or spyware.
I have:
WinXP Home Ed. Service Pck 2 (version 2002)
Dell OptiPlex SX260
Pentium 4 (2.66GHz)
512 MB of RAM

Please help...technologically impaired! LOL |

It would seem yes.
Try using an earlier restore point in safe mode.

You can also through msconfig
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/safemode.htm
Do not forget to reverse the entries in msconfig after you have
finished.
