System Restore Tab Crashes

System Restore Tab Crashes

Posted on Jan 13, 2008 under Windows XP Tips |

Today I had a problem going when I clicked on the System Restore tab under System Properties on my Windows XP system. When I would click it, System Properties would crash with a System Error. Here’s how I fixed this problem.

1. Open the Control Panel.

2. Open Administrative Tools.

3. Open on Services.

4. Open System Restore Service on the right side.

5. Click Stop.

6. Let the service stop, then click OK.

Now you should be able to access the System Restore tab. Uncheck the Turn off system restore on all drives if you would like to enable the System Restore feature again.

I’m having the same problem however with me the service is stopped at startup and forcing it to start gives an error. when i go to the tab it crashes and then the error reporting program crashes as well (dr watson).

any idea whats causing this?

I have a feeling its something to do with dodgey nvidia nforce drivers but thats only because im having issues with the network access manager at the same time.
