If you decide to do any registry editing, download and install ERUNT. It
could save your bacon someday.

If the issue is lack of space, as suggested in the first link that SC
Tom gave, minimize the space that System Restore uses as explained here:

And also get a larger hard drive.

You could use this VBS script to create a System Restore point on you computer at any
time, without having to start the System Restore application....

Download the "Interactive" version (asks you) :

....or the "silent" version (creates the point silently) :

If it was me, I would fix the problem instead of downloading some
third party script to do what XP should be able to do just fine by
itself. Who knows what else might be broken?

What is your XP version and Service Pack?

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free reputable
malware detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

When you create a new RP, how do you know it got created? When do you
notice it is missing?

Does the issue present itself with any additional details?

SR will not launch

SR launches, but no calendar

You know... symptoms.
