I have tried to do a system restore back to April as I have a problem which
may have started when I installed AVG, but I am unable to restore back beyond
May.I have tried 'creating' a restore point in April but still can't go
beyong May. Any ideas?

Hi Vivace,

There is a 90 day going back. System Restore always deletes points older
than 90 days. It cannot be altered.

One way, to go back is to have burned a copy of the partition that
Windows XP is installed on, onto a different partition or onto CD-RW Disks
or DVD-RW Disks, so they can always be reused.

Right now, you can Reformat and Reinstall your copy of Windows XP.

Procedure to Reinstall Windows XP!

If you want to save any files, make a backup of those files off the Hard
Drive and proceed.

0. - Turn off the printer.
1. - Go into Computer Bios and Set Defaults and Exit, if you know how.
Make sure the Boot Order is set to Boot to CD-Rom Drive First.
2. - Insert Windows XP CD into CD-Rom Drive.
3. - Reboot the computer.
4. - Welcome to Setup.
5. - Reinstall XP - Press Enter
6. - F8 - I Agree
7. - Esc: Don't Repair
8. - Select Partition to Install Windows XP on.
Use UP and DOWN ARROW Keys to Highlight Partition.
9. - Press Enter.
10. - Press C to Continue.
11. - Highlight the Action You Want To Take.
Type of Format you want to perform.
12. - I selected Format The Partition using the Fat File System.
13. - Then Press Enter to Continue
14. - Warning Message
15. - Press F
16. - To Continue To Format Partition with the FAT32 File System.
17. - Press Enter.
18. - Now it formats.
19. - After Formatting It Checks The Drive.
20. - Then Copies files to partition.
21. - Now it Reboots to Windows XP. Don't press a key to boot to CD.
22. - And now it installs Windows XP.
23. - You need to be here now.
24. - Starts at 39 Minutes to Complete.
25. - At 33 minutes, you need to set Time and Time Zone.
26. - And Enter The Product Key.
27. - At 29 minutes, you need to pick the Network.
28. - Now wait for Reboot and you are done.

what is the specific problem you are having? Why do you think its related to
AVG?

I do not suggest that you "reinstall" windows, unless you have nothing to
loose.....
