Ok I got it. While digging a little further I found it referred to Mod
MSHMTL.DLL which did not get updated and was the wrong version. I installed
the correct version and all is well.

System Restore blank calendar. What follows may help with solving this

KB 275646 - "System Restore Shows Date of Saturday, December 30, 1899"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=275646) sets out what you need to do to
repair this damage - often caused by the injudicious use of an
incompatible
registry cleaner.

Either use the registry editor REGEDIT (Start | Run, enter Regedit in the
box
and click OK) or, somewhat easier,
Copy the grey area of text in KB 275646. Open notepad and paste in the
copied
text. Save to your desktop as a file named say FIX.REG. Now right click
on
the file FIX.REG and select Merge and this will then merge the contents of
the
file with the registry adding back any entries that have been deleted.
Hopefully that will then fix the problem.
