System Restore

[Allison Honchul]

When I try to run System Restore, I get this error:

The procedure entry point
RemoteAssistancePrepareSystemRestore could not be loaded
in the dynamic link library WINSTA.dll

Any ideas what's going on?

Allison,

Reinstall SystemRestore files using this method:

1. Click Start, Run and type the following command and press Enter
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"

If this returns an error message, locate the file sr.inf by opening c:\
windows\inf folder. Right-click sr.inf (reads as sr) and choose "Install"

You may need to insert the XP CD-ROM (or mention the source path) to
complete the procedure.

Copied from www.annoyances.org in response to a post about
a problem getting system restore to run and citing a winsta.dll error.
Others have since reported that it cured the problem. (Note: If you
lost system restore as a side effect to treating the msblaster worm,
you should run a currently updated antivirus program to be sure it's
gone and not just "resting".)

Have a Compaq ML330e server with XP.. had the same problem but fixed
with having to install sp1.

This issue can occur if there are corrupted restore points or some
related system files are missing. To troubleshoot this issue, let's go
through the following steps:

Part I. Disable and then re-enable the System Restore feature:
------------------------------------------
1. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
2. Click the "System Restore" tab.
3. Click to check the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" box, and
click OK.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
6. On the "System Restore" tab, remove the check mark from the "Turn
off System Restore on all drives" box, and click OK.
7. Restart the computer again.
8. Check whether you can use the System Restore function.

Part II. If this issue persists, please perform the following steps to
repair the System Restore feature:
-----------------------------------------------
1. In My Computer, click the Tools menu -> Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, make sure to check the option "Hide extensions for
known file types".
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "%windir%\inf" (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
5. Locate and select the file "sr.inf". Right-click it and then click
Install.

Thanks! Installing the sr.inf file did the trick.
