System Restore error message

[milsabords]

Hi,

When I try to change System Restore settings via the System Properties
panel, I get an error message: System Restore has encountered an error ...
restart your system. I have restarted, but I still get the same message.

Thanks for any hint!

Try going back to System Properties>System Restore and select the Turnoff
SR in All Drives Box. Click Apply, Ok and
Restart the Computer. Then go back and uncheck Turnoff SR box.

Thanks. This did not work: same error message.
I solved by deleting all System Volume Information folders, and reinstalling
the service (Windows\Inf\sr.inf).

then press Enter. In Safe Mode Command Prompt type the following command then
press ENTER.
