That's way to far back to get a reliable restore point - there's too much
that can happen on a system over a month that isn't covered by SR.
I suspect that a reinstall of ME (following the instructions at the website)
may be your best option.
When you get it back up and running, make sure that SR is working properly -
look at the relevant page on the same site....
