The best result that I have ever had from a system restore (on a friend's PC which was crashing part way through a normal boot sequence) was a totally defunct system that needed an XP install disk run in "repair" mode. The other results that I have had involved using the manufacturer's "red disk" which restored the hard disk to factory state from a hidden partition disk image.
PS. Make sure that your anti-virus software is up to date and is set to check for new updates at least once a day.

I'll give it a go and see what happens.
On another forum, there's mention of an update (windows update) that clashes with restore... (something about a microsoft backdoor trojan was mentioned).
:cry: :cry: EDIT...its not internet explorer :cry:
lets try the other option.
strapping young lad:
so it tries to load up your internet connection when you boot up?
have a look in your startup folder and list things that you dont recognise on here.

No, its stopped trying to access the internet (after running adaware in safe mode). But system restore wont restore to any checkpoints and is now not making any checkpoints.... :?
I'm going to try uninstalling the last windows updates, to see if that fixes it...

I see your running spybot. Are you running AVG or similar?
If you are uninstall spybot and or AVG in safe mode. Re-boot then install the two progs again
