Restore Windows XP to a time before I downloaded the free trial version of AVG 9.

I have a Toshiba laptop (older) that is running Windows XP.  I downloaded AVG 9 free trial version in March.  Has made a trip and could not access any hotspot wifi throughout the trip.  Came home and it ran fine on my Road Runner.  Another trip and couldn't get online again.  The message I get is that there is another program running my wireless, no windows.  And Windows cannot configure wireless networks (it won't appear even them).  I uninstalled AVG, but now I can't the computer to restore to a point before that when I installed the long counter.  Help!

IM using ACER emachine & having problem with windows

You have three separate issues.

1. you cannot restore your computer to a point before March 2010.

Win XP has crushed almost certainly your old restore point data.  In all cases, the configuration of your computer has probably changed a lot during the six last or seven months, so it would be a very bad idea to even try to push that up to now.

2 uninstalling AVG.

I presume that you uninstalled AVG Control Panel / Add or remove problems.

If you have not already done so, you must also download the appropriate www.avg.com/us-en/download-tools or www.avg.com/gb-en/download-tools (depending on your location) removal tool.  Run the tool to remove the remaining bits and pieces of AVG, which are likely to be scattered through your computer.

Either way, I hope you have another antivirus program installed.

3. inability to use Wi - Fi Hotspots

I doubt that this has nothing to do with the installation or removal of AVG.  However, I suspect that the proprietary software of Roadrunner, or software supplied with your router, is to control the wireless connection, instead of Windows.

It could be a very simple process to persuade windows to regain control of your wireless connection.  Try the following:

Open Control Panel and double-click on network connections.
Right click on wireless network connection and select Properties
Open the wireless networks tab and check that the box "Use Windows to configure my wireless network".
At the bottom of this menu, click on "Advanced".  Then, check the option to enable access to "Any available network".
Save your changes
