When ever I try to open my System Restore UI I get the following message "System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run System Restore again." I restarted my PC and it didn't work I checked if my System Restore was enabled and was the whole time. Checked for virusses none found. Uninstalled recently installed software, cleaned up some hard disk space, Defrag hard disk, ran a disk checked didn't help much. also used the "sfc /scannow" command.
Can some one help.Thanks. :-)

Tanks guys for your help but I finally solved the probleme.
It was my System Volume Information folder that was corrupt I just had to delete it and reopend my System Restore.How i did it:
1 Downloaded an app called "IObit Unlocker".
2 Shared my "System Volume Information" folder to make it accessible.
3 used the "IObit Unlocker" app to unlock the files within the folder that cant be deleted.
4 Deleted the "System Volume Information" folder
5 Reopend the "System Restore" it created a new "System Volume Information" folder and now I can create new restore points.
