my computer won't allow me to restore my settings to an earler point?

seems to me that you most probally have a virus on your machine which is causing this issue. If it were me. I'd take my files that I wanted to keep off the pc(flash drive or similar) and re-install a fresh copy of windows xp or whatever operating system you are using. it takes 40 odd minutes to re install versus hours of trying to problem solve this issue..
