Error when start system restore

Question

I am running MCE2005 on a newly bought computer, XPS700, it came preloaded with MCE.  When I go into System and then to the System Restore tab the following error message shows up:   An exception occurred while trying to run 'c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL' C:\windows\system32\sysdm.cpl', System'   Could anyone help me with this error please.  I have tried to search the MS knowledge base but there are hundreds of articles on system restore errors.  I have looked through some but could not find the one that seems to apply to the above error. Thanks and have a great new year.

Hi arlmed,   Reinstalling System Restore should fix the problem. However, this procedure will erase all the existing restore points.
