You need to explain this a little better.
XP comes with a system restore but it does not work off disks.
IBM(?) has a one button restore feature....?? which I assume needs disks
preferably in order1 2 3 etc....
I assume this restore feature sets the whole system back to "as 1st
purchased"
This type of information is usually in your manual or even on the
manufacturers website.
hope i was a little help

I've got such a mess going I don't know where to start. Windows XP
Professional programs not responding,attempts to download-intrenet explorer
can't open page,system slow,there seems to be open commands in the
registry,and a bunch of other stuff.When the problems first started I ran
anti-virus and spybot,they both found something. Did I get a virus online or
spyware??How to fix all of this is way beyond me. Any help??

Go through these malware removal steps systematically. You need to do
everything with updated tools in Safe Mode. Obviously, you'll need to
get what you need from a different, known-clean computer with a working
Internet connection and a cd burner (or have a usb thumbdrive with
enough capacity to transfer the files).

If this seems too difficult, there is no shame in admitting that. Take
the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
equivalent of BigStoreUSA).
