I have system restore turned on. I cannot open it from
start/accessories/system nor from the start/control panel/performance and
maintenance/system. the first choice sends an error message to Microsoft.
The second choice of access gives the error message "An exception occurred
while trying to run "C;\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Contol_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\sysdm.cpl",system"
both files exist in the system folder.
What is going on? I can neither access system restore nor turn it off.
I recently found I had temporarily turned off some of my firewall settings
for a day inadvertantly and a lot of spyware was installed. I restored my
firewall settings; removed the spyware with Spybot. The system runs faster,
and all seems to work except the system restore.
