Does anyone know how to do system restore without being able to go to start>all prgrams>etc...?

I am unable to install IE to get windows update

Beat me too it, you googled as well.  Half way down is a site you can download the missing file from and put it where it belongs, hope that helps.

Do Ctrl + Alt +Delete to open task manager, then click "file">"run new task", type ' cmd '  into the box. In the command window, enter the following to get system restore  %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe  That should get you to the welcome screen.

Good luck.

Great piece of software, basically takes a complete snapshot of your hard drive and compresses it into a secure section of your hard disc. Then it updates every (whenever you choose) so if you have any problems it puts everything back exactly the way it was.
