Hi Zzalatt what is you OS?

If you run Windows XP the only option because the dos command system restore will not store dates available, you can only tap f8 upon startup and choose last known good configuration.

If you have a Fat 32 filing system you can boot to a startup disk and run scanreg /restore from C:\Windows dir.

Here is a link on Microsoft that you might get some more answer for this:

Let me know if I can help you further good luck

do you mean reinstall your pc to make it like new?

use your windows cds or your recovery partition

Not really because restoring your system can cause alot of hassels and time.

You are opening yourself up to potential viruses that were released prior to the Windows updates. Also any updates needed for your Hardware.

That should always be the last resort.

Its actually a startup diskette that has the command of scanreg /restore
This is only available on Windows 98, ME diskettes.

For windows XP it's different. Thats why I am wondering rather then confusing you more, What Operation System (OS) do you run?
Windows XP, 98 or ME?

are you talking about msn messenger? because it might just be a firewall setting or something.

It is Window xp

and i am talking about msn and yahoo messenger

I thought there was an option in Windows Messenger to restore files.

Heres some info about the application:

huh? does zzalatt want to reinstall his os, or does he want to repair it? Either way, you need to insert your windows xp bootable cd into your computer..

maybe he doesnt have one. Maybe he has a recovery parition.

linux boot up cd should do the job!
