Restore Problem

[emby]

Hi there,

I am trying to resolve a problem with the Restore program
on our computer. Here is the error that comes up after
clicking on Restore:

rstrui.exe- Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point
RemoteAssistancePrepareSystemRestore could not be located
in the dynamic link library WINSTA.dll

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you so much for your time.

Restore is not reliable program. If you're using as a
back-up you should consider something else.


You can turn it off from Control Panel > System > and
then> re-boot and it will purge it's file. Then re-boot,
turn> it back on.

And try this if the above does not work.

1. Put the in the Windows XP CD
2. Click Start , Run
3. Type the following then OK

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf


You can also open Windows Explorer, go to
C:\Windows\Inf folder and right-click sr.inf (Then
Install)

Hi,

Best thing to do is to stop and restart it, though this will lose all
existing restore points. Once System Restore goes bad, the only thing you
can do is stop it and restart it. Start/run services.msc, locate the SR
service and doubleclick it. Click the stop button, then set the startup type
dropdown to disabled. Click apply/ok, then reboot. Reverse the steps to
restart it.

System Restore is *not* a backup program. To even suggest that it
can be used as one shows that you have no knowledge of what it
is.

System Restore is not a cure for all problems, and is certainly
not a substitute for a backup. But it is a very useful feature,
one that has gotten me and many others out of trouble many times.
