I am having a bunch of problems right now, First thing that happened was that Flash Player stopped working, I tried every thing to get that working(uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player several times, and uninstalling and reinstalling IE a bunch of times), the second problem is that the windows help and support center will not open, I looked in process explorer when i opend it and it opend for a second and shut right back off. so then i figured i would try a system restore, so i found the .exe file for it and this is all that happenes so I am really confused, ---I am running Windows XP SP3--- , please help me at least get system restore working so i can do a restore and see if tht fixes everything else. Thanks.
When starting the computer press F8 repeatedly and an options menu will appear. You may select Boot from last known good configuration and see if that will do it. System restore may not work if you never made a restore point. There may also be another problem with the machine, such as a virus or a bad registry entry. Try what I suggested and hopefully it will work. Good Luck!
