Maybe you have "System Restore" disabled in control panel/system.

The easiest way to fix it is to reboot the computer into Safe Mode (press F8 while it's starting up and you'll get a black-and-white menu where you can select Safe Mode). When you log in and the PC is in Safe Mode, it'll ask if you want to do a System Restore. Say yes, and it'll show you a calendar of all the restore points you have (it makes them on its own so don't worry if you didn't manually back it up). Select a date before you installed Registry Mechanic and it'll roll back your changes.\n\nIt only "undoes" system changes and won't change your data.

Well...erasing any trace of a trial software can be impossible  most of the time, but sometimes, you may change the date of you system to a later date, and then install the trial software, this will probably give you some more time if you set the date back to the normal. but make sure you don't make a big gap between the two dates.\nAnother way is to re-install your operating system, this one always works perfectly...good luck ;)

try 'system restore'. under 'all programs' go to accecories, then system tools, there you'll see 'system restore'. go back to a time before you had that program installed

Hopefully you have XP, if so, use system restore. Go to:\nStart\nAll Programs\nSystem Tools\nSystem Restore\nselect a date to restore to and follow the instructions.\n\nNext:\nRemove or disable any un-needed programs running in the back ground.\ndefragment your HDD\nRe-check to make sure un-needed programs are still disabled.\nNOW procede at warp speed Mr. Sulu

it could be that its turned off. (press windows+pause to get into system properties and then click the tab).  System restore is also not a failsafe way to restore your computer if a problem occurs (its only in its first release) so it possible that your machine has more damage than something system restore can repair.

You may not have a restore point saved.  You may have to restore to factory settings there may be a disc that came with your computer that will do this.

i'd try 2 things...one thing is go to your control panel and click on "classic view" so you can see wat you're doing, and click performance and maintenance. Then go to the upper left corner and click on system restore and try to go back to a time when u didnt have it..it doesnt always work but it's worth a try. if that doesnt work you're going to have to reformat your computer

Hmmmm.... Maybe you can try to do a systems restore in the safe mode. Restart the computer, and keep tapping F8. YOu will get a black screen where you can choose safe mode with the arrow keys. Then press enter key to load your computer in safe mode. \nThen click Start-> all programs-> accessories -> systems tools-> system restore-> choose restore to an earlier date/time-> next -> you will get calendar choose the date on which your computer was working fine -> next-> next ..... it will restart your computer, then choose  normal mode and then see whether its working or not.\n\nHopefully this should help you.

If you are using Windows XP then there is an easy way to restore your lost files.  Go to Start Menu > Help and Support > undo changes to your computer with system restore > restore my computer to an earlier time.  Choose a restore point and click [next].

In your set up there is a place that you can take your computer back to a specific date before you started having the problem. It is called "System Restore" & it should be under "Performance & Maintence". I've used it on Windows XP several times & it is a LifeSaver. Then go to PC World & download "Spyware Blaster" it's free & it blocks over 5,000 known "bugs".
