What I cannot understand is when I do a system restore and go back to the end of May...when computer comes back on , all the stuff I downloaded yesterday ( FF3 cleaner etc , is there...why?
So why did i have to save FF3 to a usb stick if it is still on my computer desktop

OK...here we go...lots of things not quite going to plan here VC....saved FF£ to usb thingy...systm restore to end of may...uninstall internet explorer....everything was still on my desktop...i mean the ccleaner and ff3 all still there...so why should i have to install it from the usb thingy if its still there...anyway did the rapishare thingy and then went to couponnet and it said had to download...so went back to rapid share and it said cant update whilst IE open....I was actually using my BT yahoo as thats where my favourite are for MSE...cant seem to follow MSE without having my fave pages stored...have tried just having FF£ open but can't for life off me find your techie thread...can get on MSE main site but can't find this thread....

BT yahoo is probably running some form of IE...which may cause problems....at the top of this thread that you are reading is a browser bar with http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/ etc in it.
go up to it...left click then CTRL +A, then CTRL +C (where CTRL is your control button +A means press A button while CTRL is depressed) this will copy the address of this thread.
open firefox go to the nav bar at the top and press CTRL+V...this will paste the URL (site address into your nav (igation) bar) press enter or the button at end of nav bar to get page up.
press CTRL+D and it will be saved in bookmarks:beer:

Am just trying to get my head round the instructions to sort out those computers who cant print couponnet coupons. Have got to "uninstall IE". I am not technically minded at all so how would i go about uninstalling it please.

if you google uninstall IE it will guide you through it

Because it tries not to lose your files for you...it is "restoring" or fixing to previous working time for the other bits....if you want more detail google system restore

You probably have a little calendar, use the arrows around it to go back/forward in months.
If your settings have been changed at any time to turn them off, limit them to only a few, or any other settings, then they have been deletedautomatically from your system, and you have the same problem m4rtin stated.
