The problem now is that I can't get the system to restore. All addware/spyware/av stuff has been either removed or disabled but the system still won't restore. Everything seems to run OK until the reboot is over and restore comes back and says it can't complete the restore and no changes have been made. Any ideas?

Choose "boot up to last known good configuration." If it can boot into there and runs okay, do the usual spyware removal, virus scan, etc. Mike (in reply to Mike54)

Trouble is the machine locks up trying to boot safe. We'll give last good a shot. The only thing I can find at M$ is something to do with an improper shut down during a restore orking things up with a possible fix of undoing the previous restore. Somehow it doesn't seem promising. _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

I had a bad stick in my old machine and it gave me a lot of trouble. M$ makes a cool (and free) tool to check memory: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/mtinst.exe yes, that M$ locking up during safe boot, it sounds viral to me but might as well rule out hardware... How long ago was a restore point set? Is the machine running SP2? What kind of collateral damage are we talking about to reinstall Windows... format the drive and start fresh kind of reinstall? _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

The last restore point was approx. 3 months ago (that was to rid him of some other strange behavior). Yes to SP 2... He's an older gentleman and will be returning to Florida with his wife for the winter season. He's going to leave the machine with me to "play with" so it'll probably end up good as new by the time he gets back. _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

Basically, 'Restore' is almost certainly corrupted & needs resetting. When I had same problem a while ago only solution was to disable & then re-enable 'Restore'. (in reply to Mike54)
