Download FIXPATH2.ZIP. Extract the files to a folder in C:\, like C:\FIXPATH2.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
{stolen from ~ Fenor}
RUNNING THE PROGRAM:
- Open a command prompt window (START-->RUN and type cmd and click OK), navigate to the location where the FIXPATH.EXE file is located, and run FIXPATH.EXE.
- It will display some preliminary information, and ask if it should continue.
- If it successfully updates the Path value in the registry, you will need to
reboot for the change to take effect.

My Brother said he went in and double clicked the ipconfig.exe icon in the system folder and a dos screen came up. That is when the problem started. Perhaps that will help? Thanks.

well I used Winsockxpfix.EXE and it fixed my ipconfig problem. Still wonder what happened to servicepackfiles folder could be why I can't do a system restore? anuhoo thanks for all the advice.

This will repair system restore, before that, does it say cannot restore any points, or just doesn't run?
1. Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\inf and press enter
2. Locate the Sr.inf file, (listed as Sr), right-click the file, and then click Install.
3. In the Files Needed dialog box, click Browse. Locate the Sr.sy_ file in the i386 folder of the Windows XP CD, click the file, and then click Open.
4. When the installation is completed, restart your computer.
