Have tried to backup from windows and also from Norton and both failed on final disk. Am backing up to (E) on DVD. Get this message: An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist. (0x800703F0). Have searched web for answer and find nothing to help resolve this. Anyone have a clue what this is & how to fix? Using Vista Home Prem. 32-bit SP2.Thanks. Rod

General Computer Support / after restore, registry messed up-lost explorer, IE & more

« on: February 09, 2013, 10:01:42 am »

I really need help. AUD screwed up & could not get to work. So, I did a restore to date before AUD screwed up. 1st time, no files changed due to "unexpected error". Did again in safe mode and now, I have no windows explorer, no IE, & others probably, since I cannot access programs due to wexplorer not working. (IE now has a text icon). Have done three restores, one in safe mode. Safe mode finished, creating these problems. Restore not in safe mode made no changes  due to "unexpected error". Now, when I try to go to IE, get the red X" C:\Program files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe is not valid Win 32 application".  For wexplorer, get Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:   BEX
  Application Name:   Explorer.exe

I have Torch to get me here, but I need help big time. I am running Vista Premium Home ed. 32bit
SP2 Presario desktop.I have run the recovery only to check for start up problem. Afraid to go any further with recovery. It takes over 3 hours to do a restore, but I think maybe restore to latest point? Am afraid of restore now since this mess up! Wouldn't think it would mess up in safe mode?
Been working on this now over 12 hrs. straight. Any help is appreciated.Thanks, Rod
