Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Read through similar forum post about disabling the System Restore Points
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 1.5.25
PHP version: 5.3.9
Host: StormOnDemand
Akeeba Backup version: 3.3.13

Description of my issue:

Hi Nicholas,
When I enable the System Restore Point plugin, the Joomla! install screen comes back with a 500 internal server error. I made sure the Lazy Backup plugin was disabled as well. I had older versions of both Admin Tools (2.0.1) and Akeeba Backup -- and first upgraded Akeeba Backup and then Admin Tools (both professional) to the latest versions. I've ran the configuration wizard via AB a few times as well as every darn button I can press in AT just for kicks sake ;)

I had seen another forum post where disabling the System Restore plugin did the trick... but I'd like to use that and it's odd because the site itself is on a host with about 60 others that don't have any issues. Thanks!

This means your Akeeba Backup installation is broken. Disable the plugin, reinstall Akeeba Backup Pro (without uninstalling it first), re-enable the plugin. It will work now.
