735233 2009-01-05 18:46:00 I'm afraid I've stuffed my system, :badpc:again. I'm trying to do a system restore but I get the following message. " System Restore is not able to protect your system. Please restart and then run System restore again. Well I did that, same. I rebooted in safe mode, same. Went to Security Cenre and when I click on the icons I get a message that ICS service is not running do you want to do want to start it. Yes. Then says Windows can not start the ICS service. Please help as I only reloaded Windows (Format recove) over the weekend? Thanks, Ian. ianhnz (4263)
735234 2009-01-05 20:04:00 What are you trying to do? Why do you need ICS?
System Restore just reloads system files from the last restore point - if you have done a fresh install there won't be any yet.

Did you use Recovery CDs or did you do a manual install of WIndows?

735235 2009-01-05 21:46:00 I did a formate restore on Saturday and was working ok. Now I can't access System Restore, can't load any printers, basicully nothing. I run sfc/scannow and still the same. I need help? Thanks, Ian ianhnz (4263)
735236 2009-01-05 22:07:00 ? System restore has nothing to do with installing printer s/w

What happens, when you try and install anything then? Any errors?

Or nothing happens at all?
