_db here again is my problem
Hi, and welcome to AumHa Forums.
As for System Restore, let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may have been created recently that may help us diagnose the problem.
Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two event here. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.
How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?
I did not find SR , all I found was srservice

I can appreciate your determination with
finding the bug in your system.
Unfortunately, i havent made system restore a project
to research because most issues with it
can be simply resolved with a repair install or
configuration via control panel. In most cases
if the repair install doesn't fix it, then there is
a problem with the configuration of the service.
There are softwares that have been known
to consider winxp enhancements as a violation
to the integrity and blocked them.
One example is Norton. It is a superior program.
Unfortunately, it couldn't keep up with the superior
updates for WinXP and thus superior problems
were created. Sort of like clash of the Titans.
In any case to answer your question;
srservice is system restore service, eg sr service.
As for it being a task, well when this service is
launched then it becomes the primary task
for your system and allother tasks running
take a backseat when the system restore
service is creating a checkpoint / file; keeping
in mind that each file/checkpoint contains
crucial system file information for their respective
partition and kept in those partitions. SR does not copy
regular files like doc, pics, etc..
Some third party softwares refer to this
as snap shots of the o.s. So you
might view the check points as
snap shots of your system and program
files taken at that moment of time when
you intiated the task of the srservice.
I am glad you posed these questions to me
and hope that my response helps you a bit
more. Let me know if you have any others.

ps: you might want to google srservice
for more details.....
DB , have been addressing this problem for over 3 weeks , Bert Kinney has seen my post and addressed the problem , I have looked at your article , and I have a question for you
Click the Source tab to sort by name, and then look for "sr" or "srservice."
The above is part of the article , now I have asked this question before and maybe you can answer
In the event viewer , system source the only task that was started was srservice
Now what is the task sr, and does the restore functions issue a task to start a checkpoint

Interesting article at the link you
provided. However, I fail to find
anything relevant to your issue. So I
provided a link with references to the
issue you are having.
http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&mkt=en-US&q=troubleshooting+system+restore
There is always the repair installation
option, which would correct faulty system
files .
However, you had mentioned that you
tried everything suggested by others..
See what you think of the above.

Well , I have just given up on the system restore function , I will wait for
my next pc to check the function
Here is what I have learned
I have tried all the suggestions in this news group from uninstalling all
Norton products
clean boots , safe boots , every thing else that was suggested
I had even identified the files required for the restart
srclient.dll
sr.sys
rstrui.exe
srsvc.dll
srrstr.dll
I even found the file sr.info
used that with install
and found I had different versions of the files listed above
I copied all the latest dates and versions to the restore directory to
ensure that every
file had the same date file size and version
How I got different ver and dates on these files do not know.
But after all was corrected .
I doubled click on System Restore nothing
I was really amazed with the number of people that are having a problem with
this function
But all the procedures that people say to follow are all basically the same
Even IBM's write up on it.
