System Restore Will not Start

Can anyone tell me how to get my System Restore to work? When I select a restore point, and go to the next screen to verify everything is correct, and then click on next, nothing happens. I've checked to make sure that the System Restore option is checked (turned on) and it is.

I have no idea of what else to do. It will not do anything but just sit there. Any help is appreciated.
 
Rstrui.exe is what loads your Restore points . Read this & see if you have
it set up correctly:

1. In My Computer, click the Tools menu -> Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, make sure to check the option "Hide extensions for known file types".
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type: " %windir%\inf " (Without quotation
marks) in the Open field. Click OK.
5. Locate and select the file " sr.inf ". Right-click it and then click Install.
