Turn on System Restore from the command line

[Guest]

Is there a way to start the System Restore service from the command line once
it's been stopped via My Computer/Properties/System Restore/Turn off System
Restore? When I try starting it with the command net start srservice, I get
the following message:
The System Restore Service service is starting.
The System Restore Service service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

If I stop the service through the Services Control Panel or NET STOP
command, I can restart it with the above command. The problem only happens
if I first disable through the GUI.
