I can't logon to my user account so I'm using KB304449 to try to restore the
system to an earlier point.

I can get to the command prompt but if I then type the command :

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

I get the message command unrecognised.

If I go to the C:\windows\system32\restore and then type rstrui.exe I still
get the same message.

Can SKS tell me what I might need to do to get the rstrui.exe file running
/or/ a different way to set the restore point

Tx

Instead of typing
C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
you should type
dir C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
so that you can see if the file exists. If it does not exist then you must
restore it from your WinXP CD.

likely the file is corrupt. Try reinstalling following this advice

I should have made my first post a bit clearer - the rstrui.exee file does
exist.

Yes, this would have made things much clearer. I also have my serious doubts
whether you actually saw a message "command unrecognised". Please quote all
error messages verbatim - it makes a big difference!
