   Run in Safe mode
   At the Command Prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and press Enter.
   Follow the instructions given to perform the System Restore process.

   OR

   To start the System Restore tool when you cannot start your Windows in Safe mode, you can temporarily change the Windows shell from Explorer.exe to Progman.exe:

   1. Start your computer by using the Windows Startup disk.
   2. At the Startup menu, choose Minimum Boot.
   3. At the command prompt, type edit c:\windows\system.ini, and then press ENTER.
   4. Edit the shell= line so that it looks like this:
   shell=progman.exe
   5. Press ALT+F, and then press S to save the changes to the System.ini file.
   6. Press ALT+F, and then press X.
   7. Remove your Windows Startup disk, and then restart your computer. When your computer restarts, Program Manager should start. If Program Manager does not start, repeat steps 1 through 7, being careful to follow these steps exactly, and then continue to the next step.
   8. On the File menu, click Run, type msconfig in the Command Line box, and then press ENTER.
   9. Click Launch System Restore to begin restoring your computer to a previous, functional state.

   If you want to do a complete reset, there may be a black screen with text on the bottom (at startup) and one of these may say for reset press one of the function buttons.
   Not sure though. Good luck!
