Re: system restore failure

I tried to reply in outlook but it said the sender was not specified and I
should check my configeration (I will follow up on that later) so here I am
at the old way for now. As you can tell my previous message was a bit
confusing because I have two problem-System restore and getting the Net
Framework update installed. In any event I am sorry about the confusion But
to correct my system restore I navigated to the folder in the service packs
file\i386 and then it looked for srframe.mmf so I did a search for that and
found a couple so I picked (I hope correctly) the srframe.mmf in
C;|windows\system32\dllcache and it completed and rebooted. YEAH.. the
properties now show C and F drives being monitored with a settings button.
should I turn if off and on--or just create a restore point? Should I leave
it monitoring the old drive F too?--what a relief--getting somewhere...
