whenever I started my system windows update manager started and end up in asking to insert disk and when I click cancel it gives error. So I tried to do system restore to solve problem but every time I tried system restore cannot complete and ask for another restore points which I did and still does not work. Can anyone advice me what I have to do?
note: update manager problem come after I deleted one file from C:windows/ Installshield/ folder by mistake. Thanks in advance.

One of the major culprits in missing or corrupt operating system files is running a registry cleaner or optimizer. They can flag important shared files for deletion or cleanup. Another cause is malware.
If you computer comes up clean after running your resident security products, you may want to consider running a System File Checker (SFC). This can be run in Safe
Mode should you prefer. To get into Safe Mode either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:
- Start
- Run
- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")
What SFC does is that it attempts to fix or replace critical operating system files. Sometimes this can be done without the installation disk, however it may prompt you for the appropriate operating system installation disk. If that is the
case, then you know that you definitely have file corruption or something missing. Insert the disk if prompted. Also you should run SFC using the Administrator account.
Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.
NOTE: Before running any registry cleaner or editing the registry, always ensure you back it up first. If the registry cleaner you are using doesn't have that function, you can do it manually. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

Why did you press cancel? If youre not using the restore disk thats why its not working. Just reinstall your operating system over the top of the current one....it will add the files that are missing.

Bad news...
Back up (copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive) all personal data and do a Windows "Clean Install", get more info at
