system restore problem

[Mickp]

The "Turn off System Restore" check box is greyed out on
the System Restore tab in System Properties. The
available drives status shows monitoring so restore must
be working. Anyone know how to get the check box working
again? Thanks

Depends.....is your system clean? If not, run the cleaners mentioned here:
Cleaning Up XP: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_c.htm#cleanup

If so:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click Start/Run and type:
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"

System Restore core files should be reinstalled.

Alternately, you may also open Windows Explorer, navigate to
"C:\Windows\Inf" folder and right-click sr.inf (choose Install)
