Before you do all that....try turning restore off, rebooting and turning it
back on and create a new restore point.

Hi Mike,
I have exactly the same problem as you. I have an HP and
as of Saturday, I could'nt do a restore either. I even
went into safe mode to try. As I've seen advice, to turn
system restore off then on, I do NOT want to do this
because I will lose the restore point I want to create,
which is when I took some Windows Updates, that, as
usual, for me, give me problems, when I accept them. I
took Nivdia driver update and then started having issues
with msn messenger icons showing up wrong. I wanted to
restore my computer to remove windows updates, but can't
seem to do this. I'm going to watch for any other advice,
as for now, I don't want to turn system restore off & on
because
I think I will lose this one restore point of "system
checkpoint", before I installed 4 updates from the
windows update site.If I find something, I'll let you know
 
Hey it's Mike and I have to Thank You, the Turning the
Restore Function ON & OFF WORKED - like a charm - I am
now able to do restores again. TY TY TY
