OK, it seems that a lot of people are having a problem with running
System Restore in Normal Mode - but it works OK in Safe Mode. The only
problem is that running it in Safe Mode, you can't undo the restore.
Does anyone know of a way around this?

You could set a restore point before running it

A good backup strategy using a third-party program that creates full
system images comes to mind.

Guess I'm missing the point. Why would that work? I think, if I use
Safe Mode, I can't restore to any newer retore point (but I'm not
sure).

The logic being ...

1. Set a restore point A
2. Go into Safe Mode, and restore to older point B (the one you want)
3. If B doesn't work you restore back to A

but there's only one way to find out for sure ......

Volsnap.sys, the Volume Shadow Copy driver, is required for setting a
restore point and volsnap.sys does not run in safe mode. You have to do
restore points before entering safe mode.

OK, thanks. But I'm sure that's what Bill meant for me to do.

Sounds logical now. I'll try it when I'm feeling better (not well).
Thanks..........
