Hi

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.

Two questions:
(1) Have you updated your computer with Windows XP
Service Pack 2?
(2) If you have updated, are you running a HP or Compaq
computer?

Update: System Restore
Once you install SP2, you are not able to use System
Restore to go back to a previous restore point unless the
following update (SP26352) has already been installed. If
you have already installed service pack 2 and want to be
able to access restore points that were made before
service pack 2 was installed, uninstall service pack 2
and apply this update:
System Restore Update (in English).

If this is the root of your problem, go to the HP website
and download the patch. It is very small and installs
quickly.
