[dba-SQLServer] Weird Problem with SQL 2005

1. An HP-box system restore deletes nothing but restores everything (OS etc.) as it was the day I bought the box. 
2. I am not sure how to answer that question. In Control Panel it's installed etc. but I can't hit it from a browser using http://192.168.0.101 (which works from ping).
3. Yes, that folder is still there. Are you suggesting that I un-install then nuke that folder then re-install? I will do this if necessary. Fortunately, I always install the data to c:\sql rather than accepting the default, so no problem there.
4. Should I inspect the registry and destroy everything vaguely related to MS-SQL?

Thanks for your attention to my problem.
Arthur

Arthur,
  When your system does a system restore what is it restoring, the
registry?  is IIS enbled for RS?  Did you still have your folder in
program files for sql server 2005?

After reinstalling Windows, I then reinstalled SQL 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. When installing SQL 2005, however, the Reporting Services checkbox was greyed out. It wasn't that way before. Anyone got any idea why I can't install RS? I've poked around and I can't see anything amiss.
