Not boaty, but maybe helpful to those who use PCs on boats.
Had a problem where couldnt get my Linksys Skype phone to recognise Skype.... the software just hung and had to be stopped by Task Manager.
Having loaded some new software over the past week or so, I restored back to June 1st without success. Spent hours searching the net, new drivers, reading forums and so on.
Eventually went back through System Restore to see if anything else had changed in the recent past, but found only System Checkpoints. Anyway.... restored back to may 1st, and it worked. No idea what changed between may1st and June 1st, but something must have.
The warning is .... if System Restore doesnt work by going back to a sensible date.... go back quite a bit further just in case. Check each restore date in between to see what has been loaded so that you know that you will have to reload it after the restore.
Hope this helps someone ..... it would have saved me about 5 hours of wasted time.
