Doing a system restore and it appears to be hung on the "Windows is
preparing to shut down..." blue/green swirly screen... HD light has been
pegged, with minimal flickering, for close to 20 minutes now... that seems a
bit long...
 
Sounds like it's not working correctly, what number beta are you using. most
of the early ones didn't. I did a restore on 5384.4 and it worked.
 
Well... it took about 30 minutes, but I finally got the log on screen... but
getting error that system restore did not complete successfully... no
changes to files and settings... bummer.
 
5384... and it didn't work... sigh...

I did this once in x64, it took 30 minutes to establish that the restore
point didn't work. I kept on picking dates further back in time and each
time it took 30 minutes, but when it finally hit a date that worked it took
less than 20 sec's.
