Hello,

I've done all the steps except resetting System restore. The steps you listed don't seem to be right for Vista. There was no 'system restore tab' once I RMB on computer and selected properties. Is it possible that these are for XP?

Thanks,

Hello salguod,
I am very sorry about that, please try this.

Please click Start>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>System Protection. And uncheck the checkboxes next to each hard drive listed under the Create restore points automatically on the selected disks, when you uncheck a disk there will be another screen pop up, please click Turn System Protection Off. After doing that please click Apply and then OK. Now please restart your computer and then start system restore again, to do this please do the following.



Please click Start>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>System Protection. And put a checkmark in the checkboxes next to each hard drive listed under the Create restore points automatically on the selected disks. After doing that please click Apply and then OK.
