Hi, I tried to use system restore to undo some changes on my pc but it keeps telling me that the system restore was unsuccessful and to choose another system restore point any idea of what can I do please?

I have this same problem! Yesterday I was doing disk cleanup (which I will NEVER do again) and somehow the cleanup dumped some essential feature of my Internet Explorer. Now when I try to install IE, it appears to install fine, but there is no shortcut on my desktop. It is essentially invisible. When I go to Add and Remove programs, Internet Explorer 8 is on the list, but no where to be found on my computer. SOOO--I am now trying to do system restore, but no matter how far back I go, it says that the system restore was unsuccessful and to fix another restore point. I tried every restore point there was, and not one of them went through! Somebody please help! :(

Try a restore from an earlier date/time - that's about your only option. I know of no way to FIX a bad restore point.
