Never had a problem with system restore, so long as you don`t go too far back. A month or two should be fine to check if it did it back then. Can undo it afterwards if it`s uninstalled a lot of programs. ( put any files you don`t want touching into My Documents ).

But probably best solution has already been suggested, ditch IE and get something else. I`ve never used Chrome, there was a thread on here not long ago where someone was having problems with it. There`s also Safari, Firefox etc.

Updates for xp are essential. Totally nuts to me that you don't install them :)

Learn to stop using system restore as a solution. Not so good for your computer as most think

Nor do I,
Do think it difficult to help a person that won't be helped by basic recommendations, if he really, really, wanted advice, he would take it, (long ago, in the years gone by he could have had help putting everything on one P.C. (Not me)), but carries on with a system that he admits isn't easy to use or easily transferred to the useful.

Sorry Less but I had been using WordStar 5 - 6 since they first came out and, WS6 does everything I need you can see what font you are using in a blue box on screen, not in a tiny little slot at the top of the screen, which you hope to christ hasn't changed when you don't want it too, by the time all these fancy wordprocessors came along I already had 1000's of hours work in WS6. Serveral members of the WordStar users group have made suggestions of programs that are compatable with my work, I've tried them, the last one was Open Office, one file of 65 pages was changed to 137 pages of mostly jumble.
But that computer with all my Pals files & Accrington's Heroes on has never been connected to the internet, so it can't be infected, or affected by hackers or giil bates's mob.

No need to apologise, carry on as you are, but if you will insist on doing it your way, why ask for help you will ignore?
