- System Restore problem fixed! Thanks Wesley!
- Posted by Dallas Overturf on March 14th, 2006
Found the final nail in my System Restore coffin! Wesley if you catch this
your fix (re-install sr.inf) was right.
I could not do it as My computer CD was sp1 and I've upgraded to sp2. I
finally (2 days of poking around) found
a blurb that explains what to do in my case and all now works in System
Restore again.
The trick for me was to right click c:windows/inf on the file sr.inf (This
to re-install System Restore)
BUT... It asks for my SP2 CD (no such animal) for sr.sys when it does this
you must point it to the
sr.sys in: C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 NOT C:\WINDOWS\inf\i386 (If you
like me updated from SP1 to SP2)
Now it'll re-install System Restore. Note: You'll still need your install
CD along with this (at least I did) but there is another
file it will want there and it'll be on your CD in the i386 folder.
oi Thanks to all and Regards,
Dallas...

Thanks It's running fine now... No problems and I've tested Restore both
turn on and off and create with zero problems and can see the expected
restor points listed. Thanks! That was getting a bit frustrating for a
few days!
Regards,
Dallas...
