System restore problem

C

Craig Schiller

Windows XP Home SP3.

I'm trying to do a system restore, by going to Start | Accessories |
System Tools | System restore.

I select a date, and click next, but nothing happens. I've tried several
different dates with no luck.

Am I screwed or is there a way to manually force a system restore
without using this wizard?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try SR in Safe Mode.

Why do you want to run SR? Are you having a problem?

Thanks. Safe mode did the trick.
