Hi Holy Cow, Did you ever find out any more about it? No, that experience was enough to make me give up on Restore. I never bothered doing any further research. The Dell tech just had me go to the first restore date, search for the missing file then back to the current date. At that point neither he nor me knew that my PC would become unstable. I found the help file myself by searching my C: drive for the file name without the extension. I don't remember for sure but I'm pretty sure ME was searching for win.help.exe not winhelp.exe. I changed the file name to what Windows was searching for which solved my problem. My problem was different than yours, help files couldn't open because a file was missing. Restore allowed a restore but that's what led to the instability. The problem was only w/ the Dell install I got with the PC. When I did a generic reinstall of ME I didn't have the problem again.
