You can access the system restore from start-->programs-->accessories-->system tools-->system restore.

It sounds like you may have some registry corruption. You may want to download ccleaner, and run the registry tool. You may need to run it several times to fix all the issues.

Try running the system restore from safe mode.

the problem with that is when i open system restore it just opens a blank screen....ive tried everyway to get into the system restore but it just a blank screen. i dont know much about computers .....

First, install the program in the link above. The problem may be simple registry problems.

If that doesn't solve it, we can attack this from another direction.

[aford10]

It's a useful piece of software. It has a few other nice features besides the registry cleaner.

where do i download it from file hippo??? i dont have money to pay for it if its not free

 

[aford10]

It's free. You can download it from hippo or piriform. Both sites should be listed.

[danielray06]

oh ya and another thing when i look for my system restore in the system folder its not there only internet explorer w/o add ons. i have to search my hard drive to find it ....

 

[aford10]

This should be the location of the system restore.
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

 

[danielray06]

ok the cleaner didnt work cleaned up my computer but my system restore still doesnt work just pops up as a blank screen and. aford i have no idea what all that mumbo jumbo means XD

 

[aford10]

Ok, restart the PC, and tap F8 on startup. Boot into safe mode with command prompt. When you get to the command line, type the following, and press enter.
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
