system restore

It's possible the SR file store is corrupted. This can be corrected as
follows, go to Control Panel, open System, go to the System Restore tab,
select, "Turn off System Restore on all drives and click apply and ok.
NOTE: this will wipe out all restore points but if none of the current
restore points are working, they are useless to you anyway.

Reboot the system as directed, return to the System Restore tab as outlined
above, remove the check from "Turn off System Restore on all drives," click
apply and ok and reboot. Then try System Restore again.

If that fails to resolve it, try the following link:

This is indicative that the System Restore file store is corrupted. The
means of fixing the issue is to turn off System Restore, reboot the system,
turn it back on and reboot again. NOTE: This procedure will delete all
restore points up to this time. However, at the moment any such restore
points are useless to you. Open Control Panel, open System, go to System
Restore, place a check next to turn off System Restore, click apply and ok
and follow the instructions above.
 
You may have changed your screen resoulution and SYS Restore may not be
capable of restoring. Change any color or screen resoulution setting example
1400x900 in display menu. then try again.
