There haven't been any replies to my question of 9/6, so
here it is again:

When I try starting the System Restore Application I get
the following Error:

System Restore Application has encountered a problem and
needs to close.

Appname:rstrui.exe
Appver: 5.1.2600
ModName:mshtml.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2800.1400
Offset: 0005ea0c

Similarly, when I try to start user account management:
HYML Applicator Host has encountered a problem and needs
to close.

AppName:mshta.exe
Appver: 6.0.2600.0
ModName:mshtml.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2800.1400
Offset: 0005ea0c

My first impulse is to replace the mshtml.dll, but I've
promosed my wife not to make any system level changes for
a little while; is that what I should do; if not, any
other ideas?

And if turing SR on and off doesn't work, go into services.msc and stop
/ disable the system restore service. Reboot. Then reset it to
automatic and start it again. Reboot.

If that doesn't work try reinstalling system restore.

Insert the Windows XP CD
Click Start/Run and type:
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf

For that, go to Control Panel - System - System restore and disable
System Restore. You will lose existing points but if you cannot get at
them . . .

Reboot, and go to the hidden folder Windows.inf and there right click
sr.inf - take Install to reinstall it. Reboot again and go back and
enable Restore. While there I would take Settings for drives and set
the space allowed to not more than 1 GB - by default it uses 12% of the
drive and on recent large drives this seems to be more than is good for
it

For that I would refresh the two modules: easy way is to rename them
with different extensions, File Protection will immediately restore
fresh copies, which will come into use on reboot (so do it alongside the
reboot for the restore). Once done you can delete the old renamed
files, then Start - Run - the line
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
