I made three attempts to restore system to an earlier date, two in normal mode and one in safe mode. None completed successfully. Could I have done something wrong with the safe mode method?
I then turned of the computer but when I rebooted,as I thought normally the screen was different. Here is part of forum for illustration, so can anyone tell me what to do both to get a normal screen and successful sys rec? I feel confused as I've managed the latter before.
Later I made another attempt, no luck and also BSOD which was too quick to get codes.
Eeeeelp! what is going on? I hope someone can, please solve what has happened.

If that should fail, you are not going to be able to do the System Restore you wanted. I think this means you have a corrupt file within the restore collection. Some viruses manage to disable System Restore. Try crating a restore point manually and restoring to that to prove that System Restore is working (even if not to do what you want).
Your weird screen appearance looks like an unusual choice of font in your web browser.

Thanks, a lot to try there!

As to the screen, I am as sure as can be that I made no change. It was OK immediately prior to my attempt in Safe Mode.

The computer (Dell Inspiron 560), is under a year old, so what are the chances of corruption in that situation? This afternoon however I did get an error message about a corruption, that suggested to run chkdsk. When I start>run>chkdsk there is a momentary blip on the screen and then nothing.
SOLVED
Somewhere else I read of disabling any antivirus. Recently there have been adverse comments re AVG Free, so a few days back I installed Avira Free. Could that be acting too dictatorially?

Disk has plenty of space.
Edit: snatched time. It was the AV/FW causing problems I think. If event viewer errprs reoccur I'll come back
