Less, she's tried system restore (it would only let her do this in safe mode) but still no joy, it seems fine and then when she re-boots it its back to what it was before the restore

Re: Please Help - emamums pc broken
Has she tried a virus scan in safe mode?
Mine does just the opposite. When I switch it off it switches itself back on again.

If yes to the above, then, boot from the disk, (wait for ages, and ages and.....), then enter the recovery console by pressing "R" and type in "Fixboot" (without the quotes) This may not work but its worth a try because system restore isn't doing anything.
