System Restore Tab Inaccessible

[alexepascual]

When I go to the "System Restore" tab in "System Properties", I get an error.

It says:

"Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close"

I was recently trying to disable system restore when I found that problem.

Using Win XP Sp2.

I'll appreciate your help.

What is your status of this and all dependents:

I don't know the status of system restore as I can't get to the tab.

Is there another way to look at it?

On the other hand maybe I don't understand what you mean by "status", I would assume you mean if it is On or Off.

With respect to RPC (which appears to be the only dependency) I am very unfamiliar and I wouldn't know how to check on that.

Thanks for your suggestion rjz, and if you could help me a little further I'll really appreciate it.

Normally you go to services mmc by pressing

[Windows] + R,

type: services.msc

Have a look:

Yes check your services in admin tools.

If that doesn't help try the sfc process.

OK guys, Thanks a lot for your help. I went to the "techrepublic" link you posted and followed the steps. Problem Solved! .

As it says in the article, I had used Maxblast from Maxtor to transfer my system from another drive.

Not only that, but after disabling System restore I regained like 5 GB of space in my hard drive.

Thanks again,
