Solved System Restore did not complete successfully: Silverlight

[nigelmercier]

Background: I'm having a problem with Saving download files on IE10, but Run or Open works [Later: see my reply]. I foolishly clicked Run on a program on Tucows, and it installed a bunch of crap on my system. I've checked for viruses, all clean.

The problem: I tried to do a System Restore, but got this message:

I tried from Safe Mode, and from the F8 menu, same result.

I removed all the crap from Tucows manually, ran CCleaner, deleted all the Restore Points, turned off System Restore, rebooted, turned it back on, made a new Restore Point to test.

Now when I try to restore, its tells me that System Restore is turned off (it isn't).

Suggestions?

Fixed it!

First of all I did a reinstall of Silverlight for the original problem.

Then did the stuff in the first reply to this thread, then turned System Protection off and on again.

[Later] These actions have also fixed my IE10 download issue!
