Well after I had made another adminstrator account which I dident mean to I had logged in to my account I always use and had no sound,no Internet connection, my whole start menu bar looked like I was in xp which I'm not. So I wanted to know if restore will I still have this problem. I have 2 restore disk they gave me when I bought my computer.
Possible malware not shure
- Thread starter Vistaftw
- Start date
There may be better ways. Try this first
Using Last Known Good Configuration
I would also run a virus scan
There are system restore points, too.

If you use the restore dvd you will lose all your documents, programs have to be reinstalled etc.
Go into safe mode f8 on boot. Then try to do the system restore from there.

If you have a laptop follow the instructions and go back to factory specs.
Laptop Recovery Instructions - Tech Support Forum
Your computer goes back to the way it was the day you brought it home.
Which is what happens with the recovery DVD.

I have a desktop
So the best solution right now is the restore disk?
System restore Error code is 0x81000202

If that is all you have I would give it a try. Remember, you go back to the way it was the day you bought the computer. No programs etc.

Ok I got system restore working now re dates are only like 4 days back how can I make a restore point manually
My Computer
The only restore point that you can make is of the present. That will not help since, the problem exists in the present.
Try last known configuration again, it may work now. You did some repairs to System Restore. But I have doubts. I am trying my best to avoid using the DVD, that will bring you back to day one. No programs or anything.
