Start -> execute -> "c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe"

The rest is simple. Just make sure that the restorepoint isn't older then say two weeks.

thanks for the help..but...my system can't seam to restore...I tried many times..but the system just can't restore eventhough it hasn't exceed two weeks...
I tried playing my other DVD-rom and they are fine..
the weird thing is that there is this one DVD-rom that can't be played by any players on my pc...I'm pretty sure that the dvd is fine since it could be played before this...
I wonder if there is anything to do with taking screenshots using "power DVD"..that's because after taking a couple of screenshots..the next day when I inserted the dvd-rom..it couldn't play...I took the screenshots form disc 2..and weirdly even the disc 1 of the same series couldn't be played by my pc...

I wonder what's going on...
helps are really appreciated....

You will have to finalise the dvd. Then it will run fine.

Use your powerDVD pgm?
With NERO you just load the dvd, check the finalise boxand select burn.
