System Restore on WinXP is erratic

[Apologies if this is a repeat; I posted this yesterday,
but I don't see it showing up, so I am reposting.]

On a new PC (just a couple months old) running WinXP, I
recently realized that System Restore was not creating
restore points. Checking the system event log, I found
that every few days to every few weeks since I've had the
machine, the same error was logged, though each time
referencing a different file. The trail is shown below.
Note that in between the errors, system restore does
create restore points for a number of days.
This is a critical problem, because each time system
restore stops monitoring, it deletes all existing restore
points. Hence I have no safety net on my system.
My machine is a Toshiba Satellite A15-S127, running WinXP
SP1 Home Edition, Celeron 2Ghz, 256MB ram, 30GB hard
disk. I have plenty of disk space (22GB free). Assistance
would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help or not, but . . .
0xc0000022 is STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Probably being bubbled up from kernel
mode. That makes sense given what I know of the files you listed:
- H.323 is a telephony standard.
- Fpx and mix are graphic formats.
I don't have any clue what the last file is.

For some reason System Restore is getting access denied. It's possible that
someone else opened those files and isn't sharing read access. This makes
sense given that you only see this happen sometimes - probably those
applications are only using their files some of the time when System Restore
kicks in. Knowing the files might be a clue toward finding the apps/filters
that are installed that are blocking System Restore.

I'm not a System Restore expert. I have no idea why they block instead of
doing a partial backup.
