management/services see if system restore is started and-----Original Message-----
I am facing the same type of problem as the one described
below: I upgraded my drive from a 20G to a 80G using
Maxtor utility called Maxblast3 which copied everything
from the old drive to the new drive. Everything seems to
work perfect except for the system restore which refuses
to start. Apparently the service can't start because the
specified path is invalid but I checked and the file is
there (c:\win\system32\svchost.exe). I went on
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm as suggested
but I could not find any indication as to what can I do
to fix the problem.
Thanks in advance,

Changed boot drive from 40G to 120G.
Transferred 'everything' using Drive image 2000. Every is
perfect except system restore. When started get the
message System Restore Application has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience. Error message
AppName: rstrui.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.1106 ModName:
srrstr.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1142 Offset: 000095fa
The system restore tab on 'my computer' properties gives
the message "Run a DLL as an App has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." AppName: rundll32.exe AppVer:
5.1.2600.0 ModName: srrstr.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1142 Offset: 00009765
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Another thought check start/administrative tools/computer
on automatic right click system restore properties to set
to automatic - manual - disable. And when you right click
my computer/ properties system restore tab you get a DLL
error? Do you have norton utilities or something you can
check registery with? If not spybot S&D (freeware) has a
check internals option in advanced mode that will check
for bad paths etc. I'll keep my thinking hat on.
