There is no way of recovering the existing restore points in this type
of situation.
What you can do is to turn off System Restore, shut down and restart
the computer, and then turn System Restore back on again. That will
wipe out all of the existing System Restore points and it should allow
System Restore to function properly from now on.
To test if System Restore is functioning:
1. Create a new desktop shortcut of any kind.
2. Create a new manual System Restore point
3. Delete the shortcut you created in step 1.
4. Reboot the computer
5. Run System Restore and choose the restore point you created in
step 2.
The deleted shortcut should reappear, indicating that System Restore
is functioning normally.
