re: debug & sys restore ? Thursday, April 6, 2006 at 8:57 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jcw (5124 messages posted) I'm not familiar with the demo that you installed. Seek help from the creator of the demo or at its website; it may be little more than re-downloading and re-installing the program (after 1st uninstalling the demo that you now have on your system). As to the casino and other pop-ups, you should scan your system for malware and vires. In addition, make sure the WinXP messenger service is disabled as instructed at these websites: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-300 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/communicate/stopspam.asp As to the system restore feature, don't rely on it to rescue you from a problem. Instead, undertake a sound periodic back-up regimen for the data that you can't afford to lose should your system develop a serious problem. This is particularly important if you don't have a WinXP CD, which puts you at a disadvantage. Didn't you get any disks with your computer? Btw, did you check to see if your system restore service is on and set for automatic startup type as I suggested in my prior post?
