Hi:

I can't get System Restore to work,as I can't get it Started in Services.
Each time that I try to Start System Restore Service in Services I get an
Error 2 that says it can't find C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe file.

However the file is in this location and I do not know what else to do to
get System Restore Service started in Services where SR will work. I tired
one reinstall procedure for SR, but that did not change anything.

Running XP Pro SP3 with all updates on a Dell Inspirion laptop.

Any help to resolve this issue will be most appreciated.
