System Restore has encountered an error. Help.
So, a few hours ago I was plugging in some headphones without looking, and ended up sliding it into a USB port. Turns out this is a bad thing, because as soon as I did my computer restart and now I can hardly do anything. The theme matches that of 'safe mode', the screen is dark and won't get brighter, there's no sound, I can hardly run anything. And definitely not two things at once.
I just want to system restore (it should probably be noted that I do not have any return points :/) but when I go to the System Restore System Properties window I get a message saying:
'There was an unexpected error in the property page:
System Restore encountered an error. Please try to run System Restore again. (0x81000203)
Please close the property page and try again.'
When I try to do anything with System Restore in Safe Mode I get the VSS error message. I just don't know what to do.
I would do a clean reinstallation, but Windows 7 was already on my computer when I bought it, Best Buy put it on for me. So I don't have a CD or anything. I mean I have the product key, that's about it. Is there anything I can do with that?
Thank you.
