If it has got into trouble, the only useful course is to clear it out
and let it start clean too. Control Panel - System - System Restore.
Check 'Disable System Restore, and OK, reboot. Now have Folder Options
- View set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones and
delete everything in the System Volume Information folder on each drive

At this point reinstall it - go to the folder C:\Windows\Inf and right
click on sr.inf take Install.

Start SR up again, and I suggest reviewing the settings for each drive.
There is not much point having it enabled on data drives, and on ones
with System or Programs I would reduce the space allotted if more than
say 1GB - I use 500MB, the minimum is 200 which will only handle maybe a
week of points. But the default of 12% of a drive seems too much for
its own good on modern large drives
