713803 2008-10-22 20:15:00 Okay try this for System Restore See if this opens restore -

Open Internet Explorer ( NOT Firefox) and in the address bar, copy/paste the following

res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe/start.htm

Press Enter - look along the top of the window - if you get a yellow warning saying run active x allow - hopefully System Restore will open.

If it does close it and try this - click start/run , in the open box type in the following three commands,1 at a time hitting enter after each one and notice the spaces where shown. you should get a window after a few seconds saying the script has reset for each one - after, try opening system restore.

regsvr32 jscript

regsvr32 vb script

regsvr32 /i mshtml

If it system Restore still wont load

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then click OK.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Start, and then click Run.
5. In the Open box, type regsvr32 vb script .dll, and then click OK.
6. Click OK.


If the above doesn't work download This here (windowsxp.mvps.org) double click it to install - reboot - try System Restore.

Advice of any out come please.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then click OK.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Start, and then click Run.
5. In the Open box, type regsvr32 vb script .dll, and then click OK.
6. Click OK. Its the same as the first :o Double posted it by mistake.

But try the rest of it including the link on the second to last line if needed.

713806 2008-10-22 21:37:00 Did you run the sfc /scannow as suggested in earlier posts (mind you it prob will need a XP CD as sweep mentioned) What you can try is open My Computer/ right click the C: Drive properties/Tools Click on " Check now" when the window opens tick both boxes, clcik start - you will get a message saying it cant be run do you want to run on next start up (words to that effect) click Yes, restart the PC, let it run through - may take a while.

If that doesn't fix it, you will more than likely need a XP CD to replace/repair files.

713807 2008-10-22 23:16:00 It is fixed changed to IE 8 because 7 has a big problem with Java This is from Microsoft I found.
And with the help that you have given I say a big thank you; so is it OK to use Acronis to make a copy of the system or how do I make ISO disc of this System to make sure I do not make another mix up.
Thank you all for the assistance.

713808 2008-10-22 23:41:00 So I assume its all going Ok now, System Restore and media player all OK ??

Yes using Acronis true Image will make an Image file that you can save to the External Drive.

Make a bootable CD from the program other wise you wont be able to recover the backup if required without installing XP from the start.

Just in case you're not to sure, ( this is from the bootable CD you can make) Have the external drive plugged in - Boot from the Acronis CD, ( hit Next when applies)
Select Acronis True Image ( Home)
Backup
My Computer
Select C: Drive
Untick every thing relating to hidden files - you want these
In Location - select the back up drive
In the File name ( lets say its D Drive) should read D:\backup.tib (see Note below)
Select Full
Follow prompts through


NOTE/IMPORTANT - When you name the file, call it what ever you want, BUT make sure you add in .tib at the end other wise it wont recover if you need it.

Eg: Say you call it Backup -- It should be Backup.tib NOT Backup
