I'm running Windows Me and am having difficulty accessing System Restore. I believe the problem started shortly after I subscribed to a DSL Internet Provider. There may or may not be some connection. In any case, each time I try accessing System Restore, I get the following message, regardless of how many times I restart. "System Restore cannot run until you restart the computer. Please restart the computer and then run System Restore again." I've tried most of the Microsoft suggested fixes without success. Any additional thoughts out there? Thanks - Dino
