You need to be specific as to which operating your using.

If it's XP and you cannot find system restore in the start menu, then go to run and type in "rstrui" without the quotes to launch system restore.

For Vista it's the same.

If the checkpoint for the restore was set when it didn't have any then it should fix it, but you lose files/information stored ahead of the date.
