Rescue and Recovery wont launch from Start Menu

[jsbig]

I have a T61 with XP SP3. I recently installed and uninstalled the version of Ubutuno that can be booted from Windows. I played with it for a few days then uninstalled it. Then I unistalled Rescue and Recovery using Add Remove programs...I am thinking of getting a SSD and I wanted to remove large programs before I image the disk.



I changed my mind and tried to reinstall Rescue and Recovery. I got the error saying that my boot space was too small. I used the Lenevo mbr repair feature that I found on this board.



I was then able to install R&R 4.21, and I was able to create recovey disks using the create recovery disks program



However, when I try to launch Rescue and Recovery, (Start, Programs, Thinkvantage, Rescue and Recovery). the disk spins and I get the hour glass on the cursor...and the hour glass goes away after about 7 seconds...the disk continues too blink off and on, but the program will not launch. The rrservice.exe and rrpservice exe services are running. I tried disabling Kapernsky virus, and that did not help. I have rebooted several times.



Any suggestions! I will buy you a beer for sure!!



Thanks

Not sure it makes a difference, but can you boot into Rescue and Recovery by pressing F11 at the beginning of the boot sequence?

Yes, I can boot into Rescue and Recovery by hitting F11
