Hello, I'm using Windows Vista and want to start the System Recovery but
nothing will happen. When I click to start again a messenge windows appears,
telling me that the application is already running and that the new instance
will now be closed. But actually, no visible System Recovery Window pops up!

This will also happen when I try to start the SR in Vista's Installation
Repair Mode (boot from CD).

Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

Be patient. System Restore needs quite some time to gather the required
information before it pops up the dialogue where you make your choices. The
reason you are getting the "two instances" message, is because SR is
allready performing it's searches in the background.

Thank you very much... It almost took 8 minutes until it showed up! I guess
I'm too impatient ;)
