Windows XP >> Missing xp functions In the process of trying to recover from a failed installation of a new
software program I had to use system restore. It has worked in the past but
this time got hung up. When I rebooted many of the functions, such as Help &
Support and System info. will not run. Some programs also will not run. What
can I do short of aWin reinstall to correct this. If I counld get to System
restore I think i would be ok. Thanks.

Can you get into Safe Mode and try System Restore there? If not, do a
Repair Install. Here's a link to instructions:
