HOW DO YOU RESTORE SYSTEM RESTORE? I have Windows XP Home SP3 fully upgraded and everything but my System
Restore work fines.
No matter how I attempt to access the System Restore program, through Safe
Mode or otherwise, I cannot. I keep getting unhelpful messages but no error
code, i.e.,
'Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close'. On
closing this message I get another window, 'Dr Watson Postmortem debugger has
encountered a problem and needs to close'.
That's it! My hard drive is new and has plenty of room.
Somehow, perhaps by using anti-malware or registry cleaning programs, I have
caused a problem. Can anyone help?

A. Repair System Restore - The command-line parameter is case sensitive:
1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click [Start] [Run]
3. Type the following command and press Enter "rundll32.exe
advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf" [Case Sensitive]
System Restore core files should be reinstalled. Alternately, you may also
open Windows Explorer, navigate to "C:\Windows\Inf" folder and right-click
sr.inf (choose Install) (sr.inf shows up as sr in windows explorer).
B. System Restore disabled, probably by malware:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows NT\SystemRestore
In the right-pane, delete the value "DisableConfig".
C. The System Restore Utility May Be Suspended on a System Drive Even Though
There Is Enough Disk Space -

Thanks to those who answered. I do not recall receiving a MS XP disk with my
PC when I unpacked it and could not find one. It would have been SP1 anyway.
After some jiggery-pockery with another of my PC's, I managed to copy across
the relevant files and complete the reinstallation. It worked.
Best wishes

Hi, and many thanks for your fine reply. How do I go about completing your
answer at B. ? I would be grateful if you could expand in layman's terms!
What is the 'right-pane'?

It's amazing, Bill, what a little jiggery pockery can achieve:-)
