System Restore Lost

Hi,

I just transferred my partition over from one hard disk to another in an upgrade, but now system restore for windows xp doesn't work anymore. I get a "Run as DLL" error everytime I click on the 'system restore' tab. Does anyone know how to fix this? I already tried disabling and then reenabling the system restore service, but that doesn't seem to do it. Thanks a lot for any help.
 
You seem like you're on the right track with your attempt to fix, but did you follow these steps exactly?

Problem
When trying to start Windows System Restore, the following error message appears:

"Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Cause
This error may occur if the primary hard drive or boot partition has been changed/upgraded/replaced and software from the hard drive vendor (such as MaxBlast from Maxtor or Data Lifeguard from Western Digital) has been used to move the data from the old to the new drive.

Solution
Click Start | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services.
Right-click System Restore Service and click Properties.
From the Startup Type drop-down, select Disabled.
Click OK.
Close the Services and Administrative Tools windows.
Right-click My Computer, click Properties, and click the System Restore tab. The System Restore tab should now display properly; however, the System Restore service will be disabled.
Enable System Restore and click Apply.
