Well there's your first problem. System restore / Windows repair tends to bork your registry anyways (installed programs will use up disk space but won't actually run, etc.) so you'll probably need to back up, do a clean install, and then copy your save files / profiles etc. back onto the new install. While you're doing this, you should take the opportunity to go to Windows 7.
