Can't open system Restore

[Guest]

In Windows XP Pro system restore won't open. It asks to reboot and retry but this does nothing. This has worked ok in the past
I'm currently running a 90 day evaluation of a 3d graphics program (Amapi Designer 7). Could this be the cause
I've tried removing this program but it changes nothing
Anyone have any comments or a solution

Hi Lindsay,

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.

Be forewarned that doing this removes all existing restore points, but it
doesn't really matter as they weren't working anyways.
