Why do I have only one system restore point?

Recently, I'm noticing that one of my computers running Windows XP Pro
SP2 has only one restore point, the system checkpoint created on the
current day. This is not a disk space issue, and I have not been running
disk cleanup to delete all but the most recent restore point. Why is
this happening and how do I stop it? Thanks!

Have you checked the amount of disk space allocated to System Restore?

Yes. It is set at 10% of total disk space. This would allow about 1GB of
restore point data, and a single restore point uses less than 50MB.
