system restore problem

[bmurty]

I have just updated my windows xp home computer to xp pro. I think i may have disabled system restore when i had xp home, but now xp pro is confused, it thinks system restore is still there.

when i right click on my computer and choose 'properties', this message pops up.

------------------------
rundll32.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point RemoteAssistancePrepareSystemRestore could not be located in the dynamic link library WINSTA.dll
-------------------------

and i have also had problems with windows update, because it tries to create a system restore point, and because it cant it just freezes the installation.

i want to enable system restore again. does any1 know how?

To turn on Windows XP System Restore

1. Click Start.
2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Uncheck the "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box.
5. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Hi bmurty

This time do a clean installation, as per the following link, as upgrades nearly always lead to furher problems along the road.

Read the instructions very carefully: -
