Hi guys, I did a system restore earlier as over the last couple of months the
performance seemed to be deteriorating. A mistake maybe but i restored back
to the earliest date which was july 31st. After doing this determined was not
much better after around 10 mins or so tried to reverse back and when i was
clicking on the system restore icon it was saying the file required was not
in the library! (or something along those lines). I have also tried to access
the system restore via pressing f8 on startup, going on to safe mode with
command prompt and typing in the following :-
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

To cut a long story short i just want to be able to undo the restore carried
out. I have done this before but have been able to reverse through the normal
procedure.
Any assistance would be appreciated and i promise i wont do this again!

O/s is windows xp home edition.

you can try opening it with the windows cd. though if the file has been
deleted i dont no if it will do much good

Hi,

Try using a different restore point close to time you first restored the
system, from safe mode.
