Sorry, but when System Restore becomes corrupt there's nothing you can do
about it, save turning it off, rebooting, and turning it back on again. This
will purge all restore points but, as they're corrupt, it doesn't matter.
Having said that I think your Photoshop issue wouldn't have been solved by
restoring, anyway.

You may need to contact Adobe.

Hi Amanda,

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.

Hi Amanda,

Unfortunately, purging all the restore points would be the fix.

Here are some tips on keeping System Restore Healthy and hopefully
keep the restore points from becoming corrupted in the future.
