System restore page blank

Hi.Yesterday i did a system restore. It took about 2 hours, and when my pc booted, my IExplorer wouldn't open, it gave me " Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetcpl.cpl The specified module could not be found". I tried to undo the system restore but the system restore page was blank, with only system restore on the blue bar on top. I scanned my pc with Malwarebytes & Eset Nod32, but no malware. I run Windows XP home edition. Currently I DL firefox to use the internet. I tried booting in safe mode but same pblm.
Any idea? Thanks

 

Ah Well. I re-installed Iexplorer and it seems to have solved all problems. Miraculously system restore works again, although all previous restore dates are gone, but that's ok. I had no idea that IE was such a problem maker. I'm switching to Firefox from now on. Thanks
