Hi,

Try running System Restore from Safe Mode.
Restart your computer, and then press F8 during the initial startup to start
your computer in Safe Mode.

Log on to an administrator account. In Safe Mode type or paste the following
command in the Start - Run box then press Enter.

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

There are also other possibilities that can cause this to happen. The
following pages have some troubleshooting steps to take.

If System Restore will not function in Safe Mode, then there’s a good change
the failed restore is being caused by a corrupt restore
point. Turning System Restore off then on again will purges all existing
restore points, and creates one new one. There are other possible causes
discussed in the following troubleshooting steps that may preserve existing
restore points.
