You should (in addition to the immediate solutions given) get System
restore back in action. Check if it will make a point manually. If it
does, and is not making automatic ones, it is probably because Task
Scheduler is disabled (this is needed even though SR does not appear as
a scheduled task). Go to Control Panel, Scheduled Tasks, in Advanced
menu if it says 'Start using' click that so it says 'Stop using'
If it will not make a point manually, Control Panel, System Restore.
Click Disable, OK and reboot, then re-enable it
