Somehow the file containing the info for the restore has been duplicate (almost same name).
I once found a fix that requred a simple delet of the duplicated file. Unfortunaltely,I did not make a note of it.

Does anyone know what file contains the data used by system restore?

What it does: The Windows Vista Recovery Disc can be used to access a system recovery menu, giving you options of using System Restore, Complete PC Backup, automated system repair, and a command-line prompt for manual advanced recovery.

What it doesn't do: You cannot use the Windows Vista Recovery Disc to re-install Windows - it only fixes (not replaces!) Windows.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
