Re: Restore Point feature inaccessible

Ray,

If still there and having same problem I had, see my reply to Gerry. Try
turning off all but absolutely necessary services running. Reboot normally
and see if you can access System Restore. Turn off System Restore service
too, if necessary. I did, when I got mad and was ready to try anything! I
can't be sure that wasn't the solution.

Frank,

I have the exact problem, I installed the WD-HD500 and used their
copy program, and how have the same issue. So far, I have not seen
anything to get it fixed, but I will continue to watch this post.

As for the event log, I just went into system Properties, clicked the System
restore TAB, get the RUNDLL error popup, and there is no error log generated
in the event log.

You need to post complete copies of Error Reports not snippets from
them.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements.

It is likely that your old restore points are unusable. Can you create
new ones? Are these new ones accessible?

Using Windows XP Pro.

First, I just changed out hard drives, using Western Digital program
to partion and copy all from old drive. Seemed to work okay. But I
just noticed that I can no longer access Restore Point feature. When
I click on create a restore point, I get the following:

An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
system.cpl,,4" (I think these commas are commas and not periods. It's
a little hard to tell from display here.)

Events display also shows Error messages having to do with Event
1000. I checked at MS, but not much info there regarding Restore
Feature.

I've no idea what's gone wrong and would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,
