Maybe a worm did this I didn't. It will not reenable my
restore button. It says a driver cannot be found for this
to work. How do I reinstall this so it works????
Everything else on the computer is working.
 
Go>start\run and type in sfc /scannow . You will have to have your XP disk handy and put it in the drive when it asks for it. Be sure to put the space after sfc . System File Check will check for missing or corrupt XP OS files and replace them with the original ones off the disk. Welcome to the experiance. {:~)
 
Hi Claire,

Please post the exact error message. Meanwhile try this:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click [Start] [Run]
3. Type the following command and press Enter
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"

System Restore core files should be reinstalled. Alternately, you may also open Windows Explorer, navigate to "C:\Windows\Inf" folder and right-click sr.inf (choose Install).
