system restore

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. For some reason my HP wireless
scanner won't show up on my computer and it says "no HP device found" even
though I can print from wireless. So I am trying a system restore to three
weeks ago when everything was working perfectly.

The system restore won't work. Every time I try it I get "system did not
restore due to unspecified error."

No matter what date I try it won't work. Help Please.
Thanks Spike

Re: system restore

Try it in safe mode.

Re: system restore

I don't know what that means. How do I do that?
Thanks

Re: system restore

My computer has been acting strange. I finally found the help section for
safe mode. I did what you suggested and it worked. I have my settings back.
Thanks so much, Mark.
