    There may be better ways. Try this first


    Using Last Known Good Configuration

    I would also run a virus scan

    There are system restore points, too.

    If you use the restore dvd you will lose all your documents, programs have to be reinstalled etc.

    Go into safe mode f8 on boot. Then try to do the system restore from there.

    If you have a laptop follow the instructions and go back to factory specs.

    Laptop Recovery Instructions - Tech Support Forum

    Your computer goes back to the way it was the day you brought it home.
    Which is what happens with the recovery DVD.

    I have a desktop
    So the best solution right now is the restore disk?
    System restore Error code is 0x81000202

    If that is all you have I would give it a try. Remember, you go back to the way it was the day you bought the computer. No programs etc.
