HI skinnychap, welcome to PCHF.
Sorry for the delay in replying to your topic.

So if you go to:
Start - All programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore

What happens? Can you take a screenshot and upload it to the forum please.

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

Try this first:
Several dialog boxes are blank



You can try running the System File Checker

Go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

sfc /scannow ( sfc if not reconized) (Note that there is a space between sfc and /scannow)

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.

In all likelihood you will be prompted to insert the Windows XP CD.
