Re: System Restore won't work

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I can't get berts procedure to reinstall system restore to work.

1. I have done as directed regarding the folders and making the files
viewable etc.

2. The problem I keep having now is after right clicking on sr.inf and
selecting install, the 'file needed' box opens, and I then do the next
step and 'browse' and select the ServicePackFiles directory and then
the i386 directory. It lists the sr.sys file that it is looking for and
I select 'open' and then 'ok', it then 'copying files' but then a box
with 'copy error' pops up containing text saying 'setup is unable to
copy the file srclient.dll' and some other text asking me to 'ensure
the location specified below is ok or insert the WindowsXP Home Edition
ServicePack 2 cd'...

3. I don't have a sp2 cd as sp2 was done thru the download from windows
and pointing to the servicepackfiles/i386 directory gives me the error.
If I skip that file another error occurs for the next .dll file it is
looking for but all these .dll files are in the servicepackfiles/i386
directory and each one is displayed in the 'locate file' box that pops
up for each as I go through the process.

I don't know how to get Windows to 'see' each file as I have set the
'folder', 'view' settings as directed.

Is there something basic I am doing wrong in running the sr.sys install
process?
