Hopefully, Bert Kinney will see your post . He's the expert.

XP Home is different than XP Pro.

Try Start>Run>cmd
At prompt type: services.msc

If you get there go to System Restore, then stop service "System Restore".

Otherwise repost with Bert's name in Question/Title. Something like "Bert
Kinney System Restore Help".
