restore point

[saqi]

I recently upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro and can't seem
to access the restore points anymore.
When I click on restore points I get the following message:

rstrui.exe - Entry point not found
The procedure entry point RemoteAssistancePrepareSystem
Restore could not be located in the dynamic link library
WINSTA.dll

Any suggestions how i can get this working again. It used
to work fine with XP Home.

Start,Run,%windir%\inf
Right click on sr.inf and choose the install
option. Windows XP will ask for it CD ,follow the steps and the
SystemRestore feature will be restored.

Hi,
The command-line parameter is case sensitive: Try this:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click [Start] [Run]
3. Type the following command and press Enter
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"
[Case Sensitive]

System Restore core files should be reinstalled.

Alternately, you may also open Windows Explorer, navigate to
"C:\Windows\Inf" folder and right-click sr.inf [choose Install] [sr.inf
shows up as sr in windows explorer]
