The missing entry point winsta.dll can be addressed by installing or
re-installing SP 1. Be sure after that you check for and re-install any
security patches as necessary.

Ensure that you have Hidden files visible, then go to
Windows\Inf\sr.inf and right click it - take install to reinstall the
System restore software from the CD.

It is then probably sensible to clear it out and let it start clean.
The problem may have resulted from files from the Home being left
'orphaned' by the Pro upgrade. System Restore. Check 'Disable System
Restore, and OK, reboot. Now have Folder Options - View set to show
Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones and delete everything
in the System Volume Information folder on each drive

Start SR up again, and I suggest reviewing the settings for each drive.
There is not much point having it enabled on data drives, and on ones
with System or Programs I would reduce the space allotted if more than
say 1GB - I use 500MB, the minimum is 200 which will only handle maybe a
week of points. But the default of 12% of a drive seems too much for
its own good on modern large drives
