This means that you are on a domain, which shouldn't be possible with Windows
XP Home. Quite a weird phenomena...

Hi,
As more issues of this sort are showing up lately, i think this may be caused by malware / trojan etc. It's a good idea to do a clean-up. Follow the advice given in the following pages: Generic Trojan / Adware Infestation Removal Procedu http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html The Parasite Fight - Quick Fix Protocol: http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.php Once you're sure that the system is clean, disable the System Restore restrictions. Follow this: Click Start/Run and type REGEDIT Navigate to the following key: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore In the right-pane, Delete the value "DisableConfig" Delete the value "DisableSR" For Windows XP Professional, you can accomplish the above task using Group Policy Editor as well. Details follows: Click Start/Run and type GPEDIT.MSC Navigate to this path: =Computer Configuration ==Administrative Templates ===System ====System Restore In the right-pane, do the following: Double-click "Turn off System Restore" to "Not Configured" Double-click "Turn off Configuration" to "Not Configured" More Information: ------------------ "Turn off System Restore" corresponds to "DisableSR" registry value - With this Policy is turned ON, the System Restore tab may be missing in My Computer Properties. Also, when you run System Restore (rstrui.exe), you receive this message: [Msg] "System Restore has been turned off by group policy. To turn on System Restore, contact your domain Administrator." [/Msg] "Turn off Configuration" corresponds to "DisableConfig" registry value - With this Policy turned ON, the System Restore tab will remain displayed but the user cannot configure the SR options. It reads "disabled by Group Policy" -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "see jia yi" see jia wrote in message ...
