Hi,

Reinstall System Restore. Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab,
set it to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected
operating system files [recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide extensions for
known file types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the sr.inf file, right-click it and choose
install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).

I have never had success with the XP system restore other than that it takes
up a lot of hard drive space when it does a restore point- you can try and
use a bootable XP cd or XP boot disk to get into automated system recovery
and copy the dll if you know what it is from an external source- I would
suggest investing in a 100-200 external fire wire drive to use as a backup
utility.
