Hi Philevi,
-=Resolution 1: The most likely culprit is that the System Restore folder has been corrupted somehow. Going on this assumption, do the following (note that you will lose any and all previous restore points you might still have by using this method)
a. Right-click My Computer> Properties, then click on the System Restore tab.
b. Check the box that says "Disable Restore on all drives"
c. Click "Apply" then reboot your PC. (you will be prompted to reboot)
d. After the system fully reboots, go back to the System Restore tab again and uncheck the "Disable Restore on all drives" box.
e. Reboot once more.
f. After the second reboot, go to Start > Accessories > System Tools > Restore and choose "Create a Restore Point"
g. Name the restore point whatever you wish (Date and time will be automatically added)
h. After the restore point has been created (assuming without error), go back to Start> Accessories> System Tools> Restore and choose "Restore my computer to an earlier date and time". Select the restore point you created.
If all goes well, you should receive a message that the system has been successfully restored.
-=Resolution 2: Assuming your system is in good health and that your have checked for viruses, spyware and disk errors, there are 2 other possible causes for your problem:
-- The first is if information relating to system restore in your Windows Registry has been corrupted. The solution to this is easy. Just click Start> Run,and in the box type:
C:\windows\inf\sr.inf then reboot.
If this doesn't resolve the problem, then here is one more thing:
--- The second cause is if the data in your "Systems Volume Information" folder has been corrupted. This is the folder where your back up data is stored, and unfortunately it will have to be deleted so that future restore points can be made.
To achieve this do the following:
- Right-click My Computer> Properties, then click on System Restore tab. Put a check in the box for "Disable Restore on all drives".
- Click Apply, then reboot. After the system reboots, navigate to the System Restore tab and turn it back on and be sure to click Apply. Then navigate to System Tools> Restore... and choose Create a Restore Point. Provide a name for the new restore point. Try and restore the new point just created. It should now work properly.
