spyware broke the feature like that and I deleted system restore. I was planning to get a new HD (60 or 80GB) and have my brother's friend install WinXP. We start from square one:

1. Get FireFox
2. Get Ad-Aware SE
3. Choose between Avast!, Kaspersky, AVG & Avira as Antivirus program.
4. PowerDVD, Nero Burning ROM, WinZip & WinRAR
5. A good disk defragmenter (free)
6. Download Accelerator Plus
7. UTorrent
8. Yahoo! Messenger
9. Java, Macromedia Flash 10, Acrobat Reader 7
10. GAMES!

Any other steps?

If you still need to access run then enter from a dos prompt

' reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Advanced /v start_showrun /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f '

if you can't enter this then either press 'ctrl alt del' and select task manager then select 'file' then 'run' or create a file with a .bat extension and enter the above as a line and then run it . you will then need to either reboot or use taskmanager to kill the explorer.exe process.

if you need more help send me a PM. sorry not much time to reply at present otherwise I would have given a beter post !
