run restore safe mode, i had problems doing it also, had to run it in safe mode, then itm worked a charm,
once that is done, buy a mac
mine has worked like a dream so far! i love it.

Even more strangely than that, you have multiple shortcuts to the same items on your start menu! Looks like there's a computer fiddler in the house
System restore usually fails when the registry has got so f****d up that it can't be safely restored, in other words if windows went ahead and restored it as part of it's system restore shite, sorry I mean, system restore procedure, your PC wouldn't start up.
Get burning your important stuff off to disk and reinstall windows. You're getting the early signs of a potentially catastrophic failure and if you haven't backed up, you might lose the lot unless you want to mess about hooking up your hard drive to other computers
