Did not have "sr" or "sr service"
I believe the reason for my not being able to use the created restore points
was possibly due to improper shutdowns.
I sync a Palm base PDA with my laptop and occasionally would get the dreaded
"BSOD". After researching and finally confirming with PalmOne, the reason
for the "BSOD" was due to the fact that Palm USB drivers do not work well
with Dual CPUs or hyperthreading OS. I have reset the affinity to "0" via
Task Manager prior to a sync and this has eliminated the "BSOD"
Did the disk cleanup routine again, turned off then on again the system
restore feature, made subsequent restore points and all work.
Even added a program and restored earlier restore point where newly added
program would not work then undid the last restore and all worked well.
I would think that after a bad shutdown it would be advisable to start a new
set of restore points.
I also try to remember to create a restore point prior to adding a new
program.
Thanks
