System Restore

[Henry J. Mingo]

When I attempt to use System Restore, I get the following
error message:
rstrui.exe - entry point not found

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

This first occured after reloading Windows XP Home Edition
and was never corrected.
I have since upgraded to Windows XP Professional and
attempts to use System Restore results in the same error
messages

Do a search for the sr.inf file which is normally located in C:\windows. Make
sure you search hidden files in your search criteria.
Right-click on the sr.inf file and select the install option.

If that doesnt work, do the following.
