Why Won't XP Restore?

I hope someone can help, I am at my wit's end!

A few days ago I started constantly getting This Page Cannot Be
Displayed on many webpages and they still would not load after
refreshing or trying again to go to the page. Although I had installed
SP2 weeks ago, I hadn't noticed any problems with it, so I don't know
that it's the problem. I was given the disk at Best Buy when I bought
the computer. Other than using Norton Systemworks Pro 2003, Spybot,
Adaware and Spyware Blaster I haven't done anything else.

After checking and rechecking all settings and nothing making any
difference in getting the page not being displayed message, I decided
out of desperation to try a system restore. Go Back didn't have restore
points far enough back.

It didn't matter what date I picked from the dates showing in bold in
the XP restore feature, the system kept telling me with each one it
could not do a restore and to pick another date. BTW- I exited all
programs including all of the above before attempting the restore. Why
won't the system restore????

I have no idea what caused the page not displaying problem and am
completely unable to fix it. I basically have an expensive email
machine sitting on my desk- which I already had with LBB. If anyone has
any ideas, I'd sure be grateful. But mostly I want to know why my XP
absolutely will not do a restore????

Please and thank you......
