As for accessing the internet I've never tried that in Safe Mode because I have fixed the problem and started in normal mode. As regards your system restore you only have 5 backups by default. You can change this number to any number you want to. Edit C:\Windows\Scanreg.ini and change MaxBackupCopies=5 to a new number of backups. But if you enter 20 you will only see I think 7 previous dates is the max in Scanreg. But there are ways to do your own system restore to any date you have a rb***.cab file for. Or your other option. I bet its been many years since you did a format and rebuild, perhaps its time now.
