I tried to restore my system to the first listed restore point. Crunch
crunch crunch ... then reboot ... then "sorry, cannot restore to that
restore point" (or something like that).

Retried ... with every listed restore point. No good.

Does restore work with XP Home? If not, why do they put it in there?
 
It works but sometimes the SR data store becomes corrupt. The way to fix it
is to turn off System Restore, reboot, turn it back on and reboot. You will
lose all of your current restore points but they are useless to you right
now anyway.

Open Control Panel, open System, go to the System Restore tab, place a check
next to "Turn off System Restore," click apply and ok, follow the
instructions above. Once complete and you've turned System Restore on
again, manually create a new restore point and then try to restore to that
point in order to test that System Restore is now working.
