Recovering from System Crash - Q2:System Restore

I'm working on fixing my system after the crash which
took out XP. The XP disk fixed most of it but I am still
having some problems.

Well I tried doing a System Restore, but can't because I
get an "Entry Point Not Found" error box, so what's the
point of having this if you can't use it when you need it
the most?????

Any suggestions on how to fix System Restore so that I
can restore my system

Please contact me at (e-mail address removed) with
suggestions.

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Under the General tab, check "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services",
click "apply" and reboot.

Rstrui.exe is what loads your Restore points . Read this & see if you have
it set up correctly .

1. In My Computer, click the Tools menu -> Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, make sure to check the option "Hide extensions for known file types".
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type: " %windir%\inf " (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
5. Locate and select the file " sr.inf ". Right-click it and then click Install.
