I've tried a System Restore to a number of restore points
and after re-starting get a message saying unable to
restore, pick another restore point. Any ideas why it is
unable to restore?

Usually because the restore data is corrupt or the registry was changed. The
fix is to turn off restore, reboot then turn restore back on.

My system restore will not work, Window XP Home addition

I am having the same problem now. It only allows me to go back a few days for restoration, and when I do, it says cannot restore files? What's up with that?

Hi

One or more of the System Restore files could have been corrupted - try
turning SR off/on - but I'm afraid that you will lose any existing
checkpoints:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab.
Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After
that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all
drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one
new SR checkpoint.
