Haven't had to use System Restore for some time now so I decided to
look
at
my restore points to see if they were up to date. Well to my
surprise
the
program wouldn't even open. I get the standard error message that
states
"System Restore Application has encountered a problem and needs to
close.
We
are sorry for the inconvenience." I then check the "Send Error
Report"
to
send the report.

Would anyone have any suggestions other than reloading Windows?

See the troubleshooting tips on MVP Bert Kinney's page on System
Restore.

Found the same instructions in the Knowledge Base and tried that
earlier....got the same error indication. I have the
error report saved from the Event Viewer if it would help. Thanks
for
the info....

Go ahead and post the contents of the error from event viewer. Maybe
someone will have an idea when they see it.

Tried to enclose the info but it was too much data.....too long. Maybe
someone will supply an E-Mail for me. Thanks again for the help!

Sorry folks here don't normally do email support - I know I don't. I'm not
sure why you say it's too long. You can copy and paste it.

How to View Event Details
To view the details of an event, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and
Maintenance, then click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer
Management. Or, open the MMC containing the Event Viewer snap-in.
2. In the console tree, expand Event Viewer, and then click the log that
contains the event that you want to view.
3. In the details pane, double-click the event that you want to view.

The Event Properties dialog box containing header information and a
description of the event is displayed.

To copy the details of the event, click the Copy button, then open a new
document in the program in which you want to paste the event (for example,
Microsoft Word), and then click Paste on the Edit menu.

Rock......Oops, I tried sending the Dr. Watson event and that was what was
too long. Am including below the Application Error event....maybe this will
help.
