System restore unable to restore or create

[Guest]

When I wanted to restore to an earlier date at the Select restore point screen there are no bold dates and when I click to go to a previous month nothing happens.
When I try to make a restore point after I have typed in the name of the restore point the only options given to me at the bottom of the screen is HOME or CANCEL
could anyone throw light on this frustrating problem please.

Hi Paul

One or more of the System Restore files could have been corrupted - try
turning SR off/on - but I'm afraid that you will lose any existing
checkpoints:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab.
Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After
that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all
drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one
new SR checkpoint.
