    System Restore will not work

    I received a pop up saying that I could download a updated version of the Norton Internet Security software that I was running. I elected to download the update version (2009) which seemed to take longer than normal. After the download finished I ran a full scan and everything seemed to be fine. After the scan the computer was very slow. I attempted to use the restore five different times using five different points with no success. I get a message that my computer was not restored. What are my options? The operating system is XP Pro.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks Dan...

    I started the computer up in safe mode and was able to utilize a restore point. The computer seems to be back to normal.

    Thanks again for the help.

    You're welcome.

    Remember to (from my above link): create a manual restore point in normal mode now that your system and System Restore is back (to normal).
