Flor when I looked at the dates, I decided for luck to choose my Birthday 20 February and now I am up and running again. It has been bad for so long and I have b een scared to do this System Restore. Now I am holding my breath and cannot believe the change. I have not wanted to report back for a couple of days but that said it was driving me mad every 30 minutes and less so maybe I will be able to relax tomorrow.
Now given that Paul recommended that I do not touch anything while the process is taking place and he also said it would take about 10 minutes. I would like to say that it took approximately 2 minutes and of course I had forgotten that I would be left without speech and magnification but I managed to read the screen with my magnifier. Was unsure as it had taken such a short time for the process. Then I went to listen to a radio programme just now and found that I had to reinstall Flash 10.2 again and again thanks to Paul I had stored away the link for it that he gave out on the list. All working fine so far and I could enjoy the radio programme just now.
Thanks a million Paul and everyone. Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florlync@xxxxxx>

Go into Programs and accessories. 2. Go into system tools. 3. Click on "System Restore"4. Choose from the two radio buttons which are "Create a restore point and Restore my computer", the restore my computer checkbox/radio button withyour mouse. 5. Click "Next" and wait for a calendar to come up. 6. Choose a restore date you want and note that only dates in "BOLD" lettering are available to you. 7. Once yu have made your selection, go to next. 8. On the final screen click OK and the computer will restart itself.This process can take anything up to 10 minutes to complete. Do not touchthe machine while a system restore is in progress. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 05 May 2011 15:30 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] System Restore Windows XP Pro HiI know jin the past I have discussed this but never implimented it. I havea problem with my PC and someone has told me that it is Windows Explorer crashing. What is happening is that the computer sort of freezes and Icannot close documents etc either from the mouse click or via the keyboard. I had a look at System Restore right now but I have never done this before and do not know how to progress. I want to go back say to the beginning of February as I know I did not have this problem then but I seem to be givenan option to create a restore point. Any help please. Many thanks.
