I have a similar problem..
When I open the System Properties from the Control Panel, all the tabs work
EXCEPT for the System Restore tab. When I click on the System Restore tab, I
get the following error:
An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\windows\system32\sysdm.cpl",System"
I tried the attached, and reinstalled System Restore. I checked to see that
all files were the same versions as indicated.
I still can not get to the System Restore tab.
Any suggestions?
