I went to system restore to take my computer back to an earlier time..I saw the calender but when i click on an earlier date,nothing happens..I checked to see if it was turned off but it says it is monitoring the C drive..It used to work ..Why cant i get System Restore to function? (Presario x1000) laptop....J.T.
Another way is to log in as administrator not under normal log in.
press F8 on boot, select safemode, log in Administrator, no password.
log into to help and support, click on restore system etc.
Make sure you are selecting a date that is
bold ,
some viruses will stop you using the restore function,run anti virus and anti spy ware
then try this:
go to start/run and type in cmd
then type in the black box sfc/scannow,
have your o/s disc ready as this will check all the system files and replace any that has got corrupted, from the o/s disc.
good luck

yes the problem will still be present.
the laptop may have a hidden partition that holds all the programs that was on it when first built,when you boot up check the screen for what key you need to hit (sometimes its F11)to go to restore function,if you can do that, it will restore the laptop back to the factory settings but all other data will be lost.
good luck

Hello Jennifer
no, recovering corrupted files from the operating system disc will not lose any of your data

Thank you for responding to me...First of all I dont even know what an o/s disc is and i know i dont have one....I know i can click on the bold dates but they dont take me back far enough...The first bold date is the 23rd of march,and that is the day the problem happened..I tried to go to a date that is before the 23rd but it wont let me...If I click on the 23rd-28(today) wont i just be restoring the problem that created this?
Wow...I dont want my data to be lost...do you mean Terry that all my stuff in my computer will be lost? My favorites and everything...? That seems very extreme...?? Jennifer
