Do you have the operating disc?
If so you could try a 'REPAIR' using it

Booting is slghtly quicker now,
but still no system restore.

Hi coco

Still not sure what to suggest

Have you tried switching system restore off entirely?

You have to bare in mind youve had some nasty infections (And possibly still do)

It wont let me do anything with it.

I dont mean where you set a restore point. I mean by going to MY COMPUTER and PROPERTIES (Right click)
Then where you can set which drives to use system restore (or a slider for how much space to use)
Im on Vista so cant recall the exact menu

Have you installed Superantispyware?

If you have then click on Preferences, Repairs tab, scroll down to 'Repair Broken Windows System Restore Service', click Perform repair - I would then reboot and try that.
