Recently I was trying out some software for a company I represent. After I uninstalled it, I started to experience problems with excel and google earth. Both software programs react as if I'm holding my left mouse button whenever I move the pointer. Thinking I must have uninstalled a shared file of some sort, I decided to run a system restore. However, after I run restore, my pc reboots and windows opens, then I receive a message that restore could not restore my computer to whatever date I've selected. I've tried several different date options, but none works. Any ideas?

How can I find out if I accidently deleted a shared file?

I've already run detect and repair in excel, but it doesn't find an error or fix the problem.

You saved me from popup [bleep] once, so I'm confident you'll have good advise for me this time.

Thanks!

You may want to try reinstalling the software you were trying out.
If it was a shared file, (which I doubt) then it will be put back into place.
Contact the company that makes the software and see if this is a currently known bug.

Or, go to the tech department at your business and see if they will repair it for you.

If your running Nortons Antivirus software, this is a little known issue between system restore and Nortons. You need to disable the symantec resource protection feature.
Start your nortons program
click options
click norton antivirus
in the left pane, click miscellaneous
in the right pane, uncheck turn protection on for my symantec protect
click ok
run windows system restore again and make a new restore point.
you will need to check with symantec to see if they have a work around or patch for this conflict.
hope this helps.
