When I try to use system restore (no matter what restore
point I select) it goes through what appears to be the
entire process then says my system cannot be restored, no
changes have been made to my computer. Any ideas of why my
system restore does not work?
This can arise if the logs of the restore system, or some intermediate
restore points files are damaged, and I suspect may happen if the space
allotted to it is too big, Beyond those points there is a
troubleshooter at

and a point should you have a Highpoint driver at

After reading those, I would start it over: In System - System Restore,
check Disable, and OK and reboot. Then have Folder Options - View set
to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones and go to the
System Volume INformation folder (on each drive) and delete *all* the
contents.
Start SR up again, highlight the drives and set the space allowed to a
modest level - 200MB is minimal; I would keep it under 1GB, say 500MB.
12% of the drive (the default) is really too much on a large partition
