    Power down your computer.  Turn it back on and immediately tap the F8 key... Continue to tap until you come to Advanced Options and select Safe Mode with Command Prompt

    When you get to the prompt, type:  %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

    press enter, and give it a few moments to come up...   If system restore comes up, see if it will let you go back...

    That's what I meant. Repair, not restore.
