I have two problems that I know of -- Can't play a DVD movie and System
RESTORE won't work. Everything else about my computer seems to work OK.

Ran McCafee virus scan nothing found on system
Ran AdAware scan - nothing found on system
Ran Windows Defender scan - no unwanted or harmful software detected
Removed realplayer from system
Ran Windows Update -- nothing available as system was up to date.
rebooted system and tried System Restore again -- same message -- couldn't
restore to May 31 2007 because "no changes have occurred on the computer".
Still no DVD -- no auto run when right clicking drive, and no DVD play
opportunity on the play menu of media player
