Hi,

1. There is no tab on the System Property for System Restore functions.
2. Unable to use system restore from system tools.
[Gives message:System Restore is unable to protect your Computer.Please
restart and then run System Restore again]
3. Restarted several time to no avail.
4. Any suggestions?

To resolve the error, perform the following steps:

Reboot the computer into Safe Mode (press F8 when the boot menu
appears and select the Safe Mode option).
After Windows starts, open Windows Explorer.
Navigate to the \%systemroot%\inf folder (e.g., C:\windows\inf).
Right-click the file sr.inf and select Install from the context
menu. You will need the XP CD.
Reboot the computer in Normal mode.

Good luck

I have done this procedure as well, but not in safe mode. I will try it in
safe mode when I get home.
Thank you.

You're welcome. If you have XP Professional and this does not work,
try to do the following.

1. Run the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
2. Go to Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / System /
System Restore
3. Set Turn off System Restore and Turn off Configuration to Disable
4. Right click on My Computer
5. Select Manage
6. Go to Services and Applications / Services
7. Scroll down to System Restore Service
8. Set it for Automatic
9. Click on the Start button to start the service
10. Close down this window
11. Go back to the Group Policy Editor and configure both to Not
configured
12. Now when you right click on My Computer, there should be a tab for
System Restore

Good luck

Go to the dependencies tab and check that all services it depends on
are enabled.

Good luck

Till point 8 its fine but in the system restore service properties its STOP selected by default and it is on STOP and start option is faded although the service status is started. I tried to select stop and then select start but then also cannot find system restore option by right clicking on My Computer. I can see the shortcut in sys tools but when i click on that it says windows cannot find rstrui.exe.


Please Help
