what u need to do once you get your pc running

System Restore is the most rediculous thing Microsoft came out with next to Windows. Almost never helps and doesnt actually get rid of anything important to make it worth while. Also some people use it for the wrong reasons in hope of fixing stupid little problems. Just based on my experience.

ya well it helped for me when my user account disapeared so i think it can be useful

Its called boot to safe mode and login to administrator account. I would have looked up a different way then using system restore because of what it actually does.

It may have saved your computer to the point where it could run but I bet there are parts of files and folder that were not fully deleted because of system restore. Happened to me and my friends when I was a "noob" to computers and did not know what is good and bad to my computer as a whole.

Maybe the start button is somewhere else?


Just kidding. I'm sure this is helpful for Windows users.

I think system restore (which never worked) is worse then XP (all versions) cause frankly i find Win2000 to be more stable on my setup.
