I tried to run system restore and it says it has encountered a problem and needs to close. What can I do to fix this? Do I need to do a repair instalation?

It sounds as if the system restore program itself is corrupt, or the restore had some corrupted files in it. What problem are you having that prompted you to do a system restore? There is another possible solution, and it involves "blowing out" the system restore folder. It wouldn't help you restore though, due to you would have to set a new restore point, which would back up your problem you're having now. Let's see if we can fix the original error?
