XP SYSTEM RESTORE

[Guest]

I just finished re-installing Win XP after changing hard drives to a larger
one. I was required to go through MS Activation Process do to he hardware
change and all went well. The computer is running correctly on all programs
except "System Retsore".

When I go to START--ALL PROGRAMS--ACCESSORIES--SYSTEM TOOLS and click on
System Restore, All I get is a screen that says "System Restore application
has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience"

Then some more text and two boxes with the options "SEND ERROR REPORT" and
the other "DON'T SEND".

I checked the help options and there was an option line that said "How to
turn on System Restore" I went through all of the suggested settings but
always ended up with the same error screen as discribed above.

Any help would be appreciated in getting my System Restore back working again.

Then you either changed MORE than just the HD, or you also changed
other major components during the last 120 days.

The only thing I changed was the hard drive. I went through all of the
necessary steps to get the new hard drive installed and then removed the old
hard drive. Then all I did was install XP (clean install) from the original
CD disk to the new hard drive. Like I said all went well and all the programs
associated with XP are working fine , EXCEPT System Restore. The only thing I
had to do was Re-activate XP (Used the phone option) and it went well.

If you have nay particular suggestions except a suggestion that I changed
something esle, I would appreciate it. Thanks for the reply however.

ROFL! Every installation of XP requires activation.

ROFL! Every installation of XP requires activation.

You mean every *legal* installation of a non pirated XP requires activation.

activation.

Every non-VL, non-pirated installation requires activation.
