Answer 1

1) Start your computer to Safe Mode with Command Prompt logging on as an account with administrator rights.



2) Type %systemroot%system32 estore strui.exe and Enter at the command prompt to start the System Restore feature.





i suggest you to ignore the first step if you cannot restart.

to locate command prompt, it is at start>programs>accesories>command prompt
