System Restore will not restore my computer to any earlier date.

When system restore goes bad, the only way to fix it is to turn it off
then turn it back on again. All previous restore points will be lost,
however. To turn off system restore right click on My Computer, choose
Properties, System Restore tab. Put a tic mark in Turn off System
Restore on all drives. Ok out. You can reboot, though it should not be
necessary, and then reverse the process to untic the box.

If that doesn't work then reinstall system restore:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click Start/Run and type:
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"
