System Restore

[CHRIS]

Hey, thanks for having a look,

I have just done an inplace installation of Windows XP
home edtion, because I had a problem with Windows
Installer. The problem is now solved, but when I tried to
check if I could do a system restore I got this error
message: "The procedure entry point
RemoteAssistancePrepareRestore could not be located in
the dynamic link library WINSTA.dll"
What does it mean? How can I fix this?

Please.

Some people report that installing SP1 fixes this issue. If you haven't
already installed SP1 and other Critical Updates you should do that anyway.
However if the problem continues then try ythe following

Disable and then re-enable the System Restore feature:
------------------------------------------
1. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation marks)
in the Open field. Click OK.
2. Click the "System Restore" tab.
3. Click to check the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" box, and click
OK.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation marks)
in the Open field. Click OK.
6. On the "System Restore" tab, remove the check mark from the "Turn off
System Restore on all drives" box, and click OK.
7. Restart the computer again.
8. Check whether you can use the System Restore function.

If this issue persists, perform the following steps to repair the System
Restore feature:
-----------------------------------------------
1. In My Computer, click the Tools menu -> Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, make sure to check the option "Hide extensions for known
file types".
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "%windir%\inf" (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
5. Locate and select the file "sr.inf". Right-click it and then click
Install.
