O.k. first i find that system restore says for me to restart computer i restart it. Says it again and again. Then I start it in safe mode and system restore works. But it fails because i do not have enough space but i clearly have more than enough space. I get the update from windows that dosent help. Then i try it in safe mode again and it says it is not protected. I look in propertys to see it is not on i turn it on. I restart the computer and it is off again. Now i can paly any of my games and my computer is messed up. Please help me!!!!!

In Windows XP, System Restore will sometimes not restore the system back to an earlier date. The reason for this might be that the System Restore Service is not enabled. Before running the System Restore program - this service should be enabled.

To enable this service perform the following steps -

1. Click on Start and then Control Panel
2. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click on Administrative Tools.
3. Double Click on Services. A window listing all the services opens.
4. Double click the service System Restore Service.
5. In the Start Type drop down menu, choose Automatic.
6. Click OK, and then close all windows and restart the system.

Additionally, one may refer the following link to troubleshoot System Restore:
