I was helping a friend with a computer problem and we noticed that it was missing system restore!! I tried to open it from the command prompt using ‘rstrui.exe’ but even that did not work. It has windows vista. Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

You have not mentioned which Windows you are using. Also when you tried the rstrui command, what message you got. It is possible the system restore is turned off in your system. Try this:

1. Open System by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking System.
2. In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. To turn on System Protection for a hard disk, select the check box next to the disk, and then click OK.
Restart the computer.

I have a fairly new win7 laptop. Sometimes when I start it, there’s this white rectangle at the top left of my desktop that I cannot get rid of. Right click does nothing, but it goes away after some time for no apparent reason. A restart always gets rid of it. Thanks for any help!

If killing someone was not illegal, my computer’s domain administrator would be a dead man already. I ran a virus scan and deleted some files that were supposedly “Harmful”. Since then, a lot of desktop shortcuts have refused to do their jobs or even look the way they are supposed to look (they’re just a bunch of boxes now). My boyfriend tried a ‘system restore’ but we got the message "System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain Administrator." Whoever that is. Now I wanna know why I can’t do a system restore. Can you help me?
