I probably used up all of my "helps" with Mar's computer problems but I also have a question to ask about my own computer. 
I have a Dell with WinXP
I had DSL Lite installed on April 24th...LOVE IT! Since then, i've downloaded the latest Acrobat reader 8, as well as updated my Firefox and a few other programs. I've noticed that its been starting to slow down a lot. My email screen takes awhile to pop up. I uninstalled Acrobat and Firefox and got the older versions back but its still slow.
I decided to restore to April 25th. But I get a message saying "unable to restore this point". Tried another date, got the same message.
I dont have Norton antivirus. I have AVG. Could something in that be preventing my restore? I also have my firewall on in my control panel. Should I temporarily shut that off to restore?
Thanks for any advice.
