System restore not working

[Kim]

When I try to start-up system restore,it comes up
with "C:\windows\system32
\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\windows\system32
\sysdm.cpl",System" rundll error,I send reports,but it
hasn't worked for weeks.What can I do to fix this myself?
Can I delete system restore,and reload it from the start-
up CD?And if so how do I go about it?

Try this

Click Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools |
Services.
Right-click System Restore Service and click Properties.
From the Startup Type drop-down, select Disabled.
Click OK.
Close the Services and Administrative Tools windows.
Right-click My Computer, click Properties, and click the
System Restore tab. The System Restore tab should now
display properly; however, the System Restore service
will be disabled.
Enable System Restore and click Apply.
