How to Start the System Restore Tool from the Command Prompt

System Restore is a great feature in XP, but if you aren't able to boot into the Windows GUI normally or in Safe Mode, how can you use it? Here are the instructions for starting System Restore from the command prompt:

1. Start your computer by selecting Safe Mode with Command Prompt from the startup menu.
2. When the command prompt is displayed, type the following: [systemroot]\system32\restore\rstrui.exe (the system root folder is the folder to which you installed the XP operating system files, usually c:\windows).
3. Press Enter.
4. Now you can follow the instructions on the screen to use System Restore to restore your computer to a previous functional state.

Any use?

could you look in
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\AVG7\
and see if you have a .log file?

Nope....says that it is not a recognised command or somat.....bollox


This is looking more and more like AVG has deleted a critical windows system file and the only reason I can come here is because FF is not a ms prog.....I dunno I am only guessing.......
