running XP home with SPII, all updates. When I go into my computer,
properties, system restore the computer locks up. Error messages get sent.
When I got into administration, services, it says system restore is on,
automatic. I have gotten a message that windows cannot run some files, such
as
sysd.cpl but those files apppear to be in place.

I only have a recovery disk not the windows XP disc for this
computer (though I have an XP disk from another computer). thanks for any
help;
 
You could try a System File Check by inserting the WinXP CD and go to
Start>Run type: sfc /scannow
