You can reinstall System Restore with these two steps:

First Step - Delete the System Restore Folder as it may be damaged:
Disable system restore, delete the System Restore folder "System Volume Information",
reboot, then re-enable System Restore. The folder will be re-created automatically.
It's located in the root directory of Drive C:\ . It may be hidden...
Open any folder, click "Tools", "Folder Options", and the "View" tab.
Check the box, "Show hidden files and folders"
Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types",
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files", Click "Apply", "OK"

To disable System Restore, Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore,
System Restore Settings, "System Restore" tab, and check the box. "Turn Off System Restore on
all drives", click "Apply" and "OK".

Now go to Drive C:\System Volume Information\ and delete it.


Second Step - Reinstall System Restore:
1. Click Start, Run, In the Run box, type "C:\windows\inf" without the quotes and press enter.
2. Look for SR.INF and RightClick on it, then select "Install"

Follow the prompts, Reboot, and System Restore will be ready to use.
NOTE: If it asks for the Windows CD, point it to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
NOTE: If it asks for "srframe.mmf", point it to C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
