system restore prob

I changed the hard drive on my wifes pc due to bad Vundo virus.All is good except the system restore app pops up then disapears.

Also the new hard drive is H: rather than C: Don't know if that may be the problem. It looks to me like the link is broken. If so how do I get that link back.

thanks

Try to run the program directly. If it works, create a shortcut to it and paste it into your menu.

Copy and paste the line below into your Start>Run box;
%SystemRoot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

("%SystemRoot%" would be (in your case) h:\windows)

Well I installed IE7 and all is good again. Strange but true. Thanks for your help
