System Restore Won't Start

[Guest]

I did a system restore this week because of some weird behaviour with
Microsoft Flight Sim. Since doing the restore I have been unable to
open the System Restore utility. It just won't start (neither will
FLight Sim for that matter). Any ideas as to what is wrong? I'm sort
of in a Catch22...can't restore to fix a restore problem.

Thx for any help

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting tips for System Restore in Windows XP.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title “Source” at the top of the source name column in the right pane to
sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the
upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the
information for each of the two event here. This will help us in diagnosing the problem.
