Windows XP: System Restore Doesn't

After performing security updates last week I started having problems with
OE6 (coincidence?). When I couldn't resolve them, I tried to restore my
system to an earlier date. Well, I tried every restore point back to June and
each time was rewarded with the message that the restoration was
unsuccessful. I'd go back further, but I've apparently gone back as far as
the system will permit.

I've performed a scan for viruses, spyware, malware, etc -- my system is
clean. I've run defrag and disk cleanup and I'm still unable to do a
successful restore.

Is a complete restore my only remaining option, or is there something else I
could try?

I'm running Windows XP, Home Ed. with all recommended software and security
updates. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you decide to do a fresh install make sure you backup your files ie: "My
Documents" and what ever else you might need.
