Sometimes this problem does not allow you to open system restore in the normal fashion. If it does, just do it that way, but if it doesn't, try doing it in safe mode. Restart your computer and choose to boot in safe mode with command prompt. In the command prompt enter
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
This should start system restore. Now just choose an early system restore point before the errors showed up.
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
This should start system restore. Now just choose an early system restore point before the errors showed up.
i did a system restore and when it rebooted up i got this message... the instruction at "0x0040934e" referenced memory at "0x00163000". the memory could not be read. ok to terminate the program or cancel to debug the program. so i did cancel and it sent me back to the system restore page. did another restore and when it rebooted again i clicked ok to terminate the program and my desktop came up with no icons. so i had to do a hard shutdown and when it rebooted everything went back to normal. so it seems to work fine now but someone tell me why it happened and what to do so it doesnt happen again.
