Hello,

I have Windows XP home edition, for some reason I am not able to save
any files (whether they are new or editted). It will not allow me to
Change the: Save In , File name, or Save as type - boxes, these are
grayed out.

When I go into Safe Mode I am ABLE to Save files. Any help with this
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank, Jeff

I suspect some malware interference. Use System Restore to
go back to a point before the problem became apparent.

The other problem is that I cannot do a System Restore now. It will
go thru the process, then on reboot says "System Cannot be restored to
earlier date." PLEASE help.

Click Start / Run / msconfig.exe, then disable each and every program
under the startup tab. Reboot and bring them back selectively until
the problem comes back. In this way you can isolate the culprit.

Make sure to physically disconnect your machine from the Internet
during these tests.
