Hi,

Why were you trying to run System Restore? There may be an alternate way of
resolving your problem.

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.

Then, check the "System Volume Information folder" on each drive (you may
need to set folder options/view tab to see hidden and system folders for
this) and delete any contents. 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.

If this does not help, follow these steps to reinstall System Restore:

Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, set it to "Show hidden
files and folders" and "Show the contents of system folders", then uncheck
"Hide protected operating system files [recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide
extensions for known file types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the sr.inf file, right-click it and choose
install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).

you will need at least 200MB of available disk space
on your hard disk or the partition. system restore cannot be turned on until
you make at least 200MB of disk space
available.when system restore runs low on disk space the
monitoring of all drives is suspended. by default when
the operating system installs system restore on your com
puter it allocates approximately 12 percent of the
available disk space to system restore to archive
restore points.

to create a restore point:1) Access the system restore
wizard through the help & support center. 2) click create a restore point
and then click next. 3)in the restore
point description box, type a name to identify this restore
point. system restore automatically adds to this name
the date and time that this restore point is created.
to finish creating this restore point click create.

I hope this has helped .
