| | Why did 'System Restore' restored my Internet service? I use cable internet. My modem was online all the time and was able to reset the miodem succesfully. I tried the release/renew in command prompt and it said media disconnected. I also power cycled the modem but still not internet. Finally, I did a System Restore and was able to restore my Internet. What do you think the problem was? |

| | It's not uncommon but it isn't exactly common either. Chances are you installed a program or an update that messed with the driver. either accidentally or deliberately. Personally I wouldn't worry about it... if you fixed it then I'd just leave it at that. |

Or do I keep it the way it is? |

| | keep it the way it is  as Ken said, there is no way to know for sure.System Restore just rolls it back to how it was when the restore point was made. Your PC is "Live" its just in the same state it was when the restore was made |

Your PC is "Live" its just in the same state it was when the restore was made Have you heard of the problem similar to me before and System Restore fixes it? Is there a way to undo the System Restore? |

| | Please, I'm begging you. Don't mess with it. If it works be happy. It could be absolutely anything. My driver comment was a wild guess. I actually have no idea. Yes I have known drivers to become corrupted and a System Restore fixed it. However I can't say for definite that is what caused it |
