System Restore Corrupt

[Jeff]

How do I reinstall System Restore? My SR is corrupt and
won't let me do anything. I created a restore point to
specifically test this function and it would not restore.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jeff, Kelly's should have an answer.
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm Select S and scroll to
SysRestore.

Hey Rich,

Thanks for your response. I had forgotten about this site.
I went there and unfortunately, it doesn't tell me how to
reinstall. I had this same problem earlier this year and
had an XP tech talk me through the steps to reinstall, but
I didn't write it down, and I don't feel I should have to
pay another $35 to fix the same problem again......Thanks
for your help.

Hi Jeff,

Go to SR and turn it off for all drives. Re-boot and turn it back on for
your OS drive/partition only, create a new restore point.

HTH, JAX

The bad news is that if you have tried to use system

restore and it won't revert back to the date you picked
then you're system restore folder is corrupted.You will
have to disable system restore on all your hard drives(if
you have more than one) right click on "My Computer" and
click on"System Restore" tab, reboot and then switch it
back on again,this will clear all your previous restore
points and start again from scratch.Of course this won't
help you at the moment if you are needing to roll back to
a better working setup but at least it should help you
for the next time.
