System Restore only works to remove programs and often will not fix virus or other issues.
I do hope they get your computer fixed for you soon.

Have you tried using Eset.com (the free scan)? Have it check for PUPs. Can your son help you at all?

i HAVEN'T ASKED YET CAUSE ITS TO LATE HERE TO GET YELLED AT:(:(I SCANNED IT AND ITS got no virus !!

it said it has an unspecified error during the restore #oxc0000022

Just making sure you used an online scanner -- not the one on your computer normally. If you do have a virus, your normal scanner will not see it as it would have caught it before.
Sorry he gets grumpy with you. Computers can be quite a challenge for sure. The error means the restore failed.

Carolyn I am sorry to hear that your computer is "SICK". I am of no help. As a matter of fact I am "SICK" myself with worry. I have just ordered a new computer, and it comes with Windows 8. I now have XP. I can only imagine that NONE of my old programs will work with it. I can see an expensive time comiing up. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!. Huugs Marg

check google for www.geeks.com. They come to you, no fix no cost. Get a quote they could probably start you on the right track so you can do it yourself

Thanks hugs

In windows 8 there is COMPATIBILITY MODE which I used successfully when I upgraded. Makes older programs work with Windows 8,

When fixed make sure you have a good anti virus and a malware software installed. Be sure and clean temp files and cookies regularly as they slow down machine.
