| 1355985 | 2013-10-13 07:02:00 | I am trying to use system restore to correct/remove a folder which seems to be corrupt. However I get the message " Your computer is running in a limited diagnostic state. If you use system restore, you cannot undo the restore operation." "Help topics are not available in this state" Well... what to do now ! If I need to supply my user name, but more importantly, my password, then no matter what I enter in these fields, they are rejected, perhaps not the user name, but certainly the password. I have tried all of the passwords that I have previously used, but none work ! Bugger |

Boot into Safe mode with Command Prompt – Keep Pressing F8 at start-up then with the arrow keys select Safe mode with Command prompt. 2. At the command prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe <Press Enter.> Follow the instructions given to perform the System Restore process. |
