Hi Larry:
 
I've done as you suggest, but System Restore only goes back to the date  when 
the problem occurred.
 
It is really strange to me, but I can't get back as far as I need to go for  
a Restore Point that predates the issue.
 
Apparently the "Techie" (I have another name for him) at AOL had her click  
on one of those windows that warns that whatever is being "Deleted" is used by  
other programs, and before she realized that she should just disregard stupid 
 instructions she had clicked "Yes" and it was too late. The he told her it 
was a  Windows problem and she needed to contact MS, who of course told her 
that AOL  had caused the problem and that it would cost her $xxx+ to have them 
tr 
an fix  it and that they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't need to 
reformat the hard  drive and lose all of the data and programs on it, at which 
point 
she figured  out that the cure was potentially lethal and that it was better 
to just own up  to having done it than to try and fix it and make things even 
worse.
 
Hence, here I sit....
 
Thanks for the instructions though.
