I first installed Vista Ultimate in February of 2007. I had a similar
problem. I would attempt to start System Restore and it would take from
fifteen to twenty minutes before it would start. Sometimes it would never
start. In any event, whenever I would attempt to start it a second time
(after the first attempt) I would always get the message "The System Restore
wizard is already running. This program will now exit." I could never find
an answer to the problem from Microsoft or anyone else. I simply gave up and
purchased Acronis True Image Home and went about my business.
I installed SP1 and no longer had this problem. I can click on System
Restore now and it initializes immediately. I assume, as in many cases,
Microsoft was aware of the problem and provided no feedback on it as they
worked on solving the problem. I could be wrong about this, but I doubt it.
