I cannot run Restore: I receive a message indicating that 'line 21'
in 'start.htm' has a script error. However I find no 'start.htm' file
in
my computer. How can I fix this problem?

Reinstall System Restore with these two steps:

First Step - Disable system restore & delete any old restore points.
Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore,
System Restore Settings, "System Restore" tab, and check the box. "Turn Off System Restore on
all drives", click "Apply" and "OK". When done, go back and enable it again.

Second Step - Reinstall System Restore:
1. Click Start, Run, In the Run box, type "C:\windows\inf" without the quotes and press enter.
2. Look for SR.INF and RightClick on it, then select "Install"

Follow the prompts, Reboot, and System Restore will be ready to use.
NOTE: If it asks for the Windows CD, point it to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
NOTE: If it asks for "srframe.mmf", point it to C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

I tried the above steps. The problem with the first step is that I
could not turn off system restore to the C drive.It just was not given
as an option. Only the D drive could be turned off from system
restore..

I did the SR.INF install. It asked for my XP cd. Read the file it
needed off the CD and restarted.
However, I still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

Reinstalling System Restore should have fixed drive assignment. Did the
reinstall of SR finish?
