System Restore Not Working

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right group for my
problem. I run Windows XP Home Edition on an HP Pavilion laptop.
When I run System Restore everything looks ok like it is working and I
can choose the restore point. But when finished and my computer
restarts I get the message that my computer cannot be restored and no
changes have been made. This happens for every restore point I
chose. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to resolve?
 
Hi

That error message would suggest that one or more of the System Restore
files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will
lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer and select Properties>System Restore. Enable
'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into
SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot
you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that.
