This error was addressed in Service Pack 2 update release and should have been fixed.
>From Windows Update
>Order WindowsXP Service Pack 2 on CD
>Download Service Pack 2 (SP2) from Microsoft - 266mb’s

Locate the FRAMEDYN.DLL file, it may located in the C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder.

If found place a copy in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Or look for the compressed FRAMEDYN.DL_ file. This file may be located the C:\Windows\i386 folder or on the Windows install CD. I may be necessary to do a search of the drive to find this file.

Place a copy in the FRAMEDYN.DL_ file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Now go to Start >> Run
and paste the following command :
Expand %windir%\System32\FRAMEDYN.DL_ %windir%\System32\FRAMEDYN.DLL

press Enter
This will expand the FRAMEDYN.DL_ file to FRAMEDYN.DLL within C:\Windows\System32.

Note: A copy of the FRAMEDYN.DLL file may also be found in the C:\Windows\system32\wbem folder.

If the given solution is not capable of solving missing Framedyn.dll error, then I suggest you to simply Reinstall System Restore.

Warning: Reinstalling System Restore will delete all existing restore points.

Go to Start >> Run >> type %Windir%\INF >> press enter.

In Windows Explorer, go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View Tab >> uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types”.


Find the sr.inf file >> right click on it >> select Install.
Or
simply type or paste the following command : rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf
into the Start >> Run box >> press enter.

If the Files Needed dialog box appears, click Browse and point to one of these locations:
The i386 folder on the Windows XP CD.
The i386 folder on the hard drive, if it exists.
The C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder if the systems has been updated to Service Pack 2.
The retail version of Windows XP (SP2) CD contains the latest version of the files needed also.
