Just out of curiosity, what antivirus program do you have running on your
computer? Some AV programs can interfere with System Restore.

To see if this may be the case try running System Restore in Safe mode.

Good luck

Norton AV.

How do I start up in Safe Mode?

Tap F8 on start up/Boot up until you get a Boot up options select safe Mode.
There try to restore your operating system by doing this:
Click Start >> All programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore.
