I did a registry clean, All, Fix and then I noticed things aren't working normally. So far I'm missing media player, my DVD burner and player (still listed in hardware but exclamation marks) and system restore. I think I found the backups and I guess I restored them cuz they're not in the temp file any more. As you can see, I'm new. How do I get to SYstem restore? I have XP Home. It no longer opens from Help and support, or from accessories. ANy ideas?
