@Bear: There's no hope, apparently.
Restore points are a last resort...1/2 the time they mess everything up.
What was it doing to make you use a restore point? You forgot a password?
can't get xp to open in normal mode
What happens? It just freezes? At what point? Did you try boot with logging turned on?
Use F8 and boot with logging.
