When i open system restore, all of the color is gone. everything is black
and white, and it does not restore. Can you help? I do have it enabled in
properties. I have run virus scans and (Spy Bot, AdAware and others), still
nothing!!

Is this a CD that works in another machine? If it's a bad CD then you'll
need to get one that works.

Yes, if it's the same version of Xp Home. A factory Restore CD makes a good
drink coaster. It's fairly worthless for any troubleshooting less serious
than a data wipeout Restore... >;-)

Buying one mainly. The vendors who send only Restore CDs aren't doing
advanced users any favor...a full CD is needed for repairs and Clean
installations. I'm sure they save money by sending a Restore CD versus a full
XP CD.

All the best,
