Problems with Restore System

[Angel Celorio]

Dear Friends : When I try to access the Restore System I
get the following Message Box :

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

I will appreciate some help to solve this problem so I
can create restore points in my Windows XP Professional.

Thanks in advance.
