System Restore Error 1075

[Guest]

Hello,
I cannot run system restore and get this following error message.
Error: 1075
"The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion".

I have Windows XP with service pack 2 and Internet Explorer 7 installed.
I tried a search on the knowledge base for error 1075 and nothing comes up.
I already went ahead and ordered a service pack 2 disk to see if
re-installing it would solve this but I do not expect to get it for another
two weeks. I tried to download it but microsoft detects it on my computer
and the download does not proceed. Any help appreciated.

Jordan,

Try reinstalling the System Restore.

Click Start, Run and type the following command:

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf

Press Enter

Note: The above procedure will remove all the existing System Restore points, and resets the System Restore drive monitoring options to defaults (monitors all drives by default.)
