Hello, I've been noticed the same problem (right down to the error code
104 in the event viewer) the last week or so as I tried to use system
restore so I did a search and tried the solution suggested at that
link.

What is really strange is I have 2 separate computers with the same
problem...did one of windows updates screw things up as this is too
much of a coincidence?

I tried the solution at berts link, (I originally had the sp2 via MS
download) so when I get to installing sr.inf I point it to the
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder and it sees sr.inf but then
gives a copy error for the next file srclient.dll and all subsequent
files. Tried directing back to the i386 folder for each but no success.


Before I found this forum I had given up and tried uninstalling
sp2/reinstalling which didn't work, then I finally formated and
installed winxp from scratch on the other system but that isn't an
option on my main computer.

Ideas on how to proceed next and any input on why we are seeing this
error suddenly?

Thanx in advance

Please post a copy of the Error Report. There will be variants with
Event ID: 104.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

Have you installed a new hard drive or changed your drives around?

Right click on your My Computer icon on your Desktop and select
Properties, System Restore. What is the Status for each drive listed?

I get a "Run a DLL as an App" error when I click 'system restore' after
the other steps. When I click more information it has "error
signature...appname rundll32.exe appver 5.1.2600.2180
modname:srrstr.dll modver: 5.1.2600.2180 offset:000099b2"


I have recently connected another external hd via firewire/usb to make
a backup using maxtors drive copy utility but it isn't connected
anymore..shipped it back to vendor due to faulty cooling fan on case.

I notice in the following also listed in the event viewer:

You got me thinking so I reinstalled a former hd and I don't have the
disk error in the event anymore, don't have the 104 error for the
srservice anymore either but system restore still does the same error
when I try to use it. Also now have a different error and there are
many 'information' events listing service control manager and a variety
of numbers.

As far as the hd it was a 160gb maxtor hd , ata100, formated w NTPS
format in one partition. has always been. The 2nd drive was a 60gb
maxtor ata 100 formated NTPS and one partition. Also, although no other
hd is listed under Hard Disk Drives in My Computer, in the device
manager if I turn on my photosmart hp printer it lists the card reader
as a Disk drive.

I followed Microsofts instructions for this most recent error and type
the following at the command prompt:

sc query FileSaver_Service


and it spit back:

Service_Name: FileSaver_Service
Type: 10 Win32_Own_Process
State: 1 Stopped
(NotStoppable,NotPausable,IgnoresShutdown)
Win32_exit_code: 1084 (0X43c)
Service_exit_code: 0 (0X0)
Checkpoint: 0X0
Wait_hint: 0X0


Is this any help?
