PC Issues / Problems

This is going to be long winded, so sorry for the lengthy read. I am having
some issues with my PC, first off I changed my drive from FAT32 to NTSF.
After the change, which I hadn't noticed for a while, my system restore
would not work. In My Computer > Properties, there is no check in the "turn
off system restore". Under the Services tab in the Administrative Tools it
says that it is stopped, when I hit start it gives me an error stating
"Could not start System Restore Service service on local computer" "Error
1359: An internal error occurred" That is the first issue. The next issue is
that I downloaded some software that I probably shouldn't have, I ran into
some problems with it so I uninstalled it and ran all of my stuff ( Spybot,
AVG, Bazooka, AdAware) to see if it left some stuff behind (Bazooka detected
B3D Projector and Winpup) which I tried to get rid of by using the procedure
they suggested but what I was supposed to delete was not in the registry.
When I try to run Nero, the PC reboots. I have absolutely no clue. I
uninstalled and reinstalled Nero but to no avail. There is another program I
have called TuneUp Utilities. I can run all of the options, but when I try
and use the "TuneUp System Optimizer" option the system also reboots. I'm
not sure what the connection is, but it is odd. I either don't have or can't
find my XP disc, the computer came preloaded so I'm not sure if I even got
one, so I can't backup everything and start form scratch. Does anybody have
any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

Would you care to repost, this time using *PARAGRAPHS*?! They make long
blocks of text so much easier to digest.

Thanks so much.
