System Restore will not load

I can't start System Restore. I get an error message saying it has encountered an error and needs to close. Error signature:
AppName: rstrui.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 ModName mshml.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2900.3199 Offset: 0006ae60
ANY CLUES?

 

Check in Event Manager for additional clues .. post any findings. The log(s) are time stamped, start with most recent. If additional older entries, are they same error results or different?

 

Does this help?
