DNJ. Once you get it sorted. invest in a small program named Symantec Norton Ghost Image. This saves an Image of your complete system and if you get future such problems you just reload the image back in and your PC will be back to the day you saved the Image within 10 minutes. I have used it for years.
The Windows Restore is a waste of time in most cases.
