What do your event logs tell you? If system restore failed something will show up there. What is it.

Try making your own restore point and see if it will let you then try doing a restore to that point you created. If it doesnt work then you have some courupt or missing files.
You may need to do a reinstall with the second repair option that will save your files, unless you can start over.
I have had this problem before and sometimes the restore points wont work and you may need to delete the old restore points using disk clean in the advanced tab. It will let you remove all but the last restore point.
Hope this helps.
