No question is embarrassing. Not asking when you don't know is embarrassing.
To disable system restore:
Right click on "My Computer" and pick "Properties" from the menu. Click on
the "System Restore" Tab at the top of the window. Put a check in the box
"Turn off System Restore" Make sure when you are finished with everything to
turn it back on.
To boot into safe mode:
Restart your computer. When you see something on the screen press and
release the F8 key about once a second. Eventually you should get a menu
with several choices one of which is "Safe Mode"
Use the cursor keys to highlight "Safe Mode" and press the Enter key. Some
motherboards use the F8 key to bring up a menu of which device to boot from.
If you get this menu just pick the hard drive and continue, then keep
pressing the F8 key to get to the "Safe Mode" menu. It sometimes takes a few
tries to get the timing right. If Windows restarts normally just keep
trying.
Good luck, Kerry
