Cannot use the system restore feature. I am the administrator on this
computer. Also tried to use the system restore function in safe mode under
“administrator†login…still wont work.
Right click my computer icon>> properties
The system Restore Tab is missing
Looked online and some of the suggestions by other forum user
1. System Restore for Windows XP
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_restore.htm
Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore.
If a "DisableSR" value doesn't exist, go to the Edit menu, select New, DWORD
value, and create the value.
Set the value to 1 to disable System Restore or 0 to enable System Restore.
The “DisableSR†value is set to 0

But I get he following message:
You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
Please contact your administrator, or logout and log in again as an
administrator and try again
3. How to troubleshoot the System Restore tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q302796
I checked and it shows that my system restore function has been started I
followed the directions to go to the “Event Viewerâ€, but cannot see any
services starting with ‘sr’ in the “Event Viewerâ€
4. Also followed instructions under
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_scetroubletn.mspx
When I run esentutl /g %windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb I get the
following message
“The database is no up-to-date. This operation may find that this database
is corrupt because data from the log files has yet to be placed in the
databaseâ€
I tried to run recovery using esentutl /r
%windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb, I got the following message
“Operation terminated with error –1003â€
Ran the repair using esentutl /p %windir%\Security\Database\Secedit.sdb
Note:
It is recommended that you immediately perform a full backup of this
database. If you restore a backup made before the repair, the database will
be rolled back to he state it was in at the time of that backup
Operation completed successfully in 5.598 seconds
Sorry for the long post...but I wanted to post everything i have done so far.
Please let me know if there is a workaround or a solution to this.
Thanks a lot!
