You could take the trouble to find out why System Restore does not work!

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrants? What firewall?

Windows System restore only restore system files and minor program
files.  If you need entire PC protection you would need to use
something like RollBack Rx or GoBack.  I prefer RollBack Rx because
Goback no longer support Vista. Also, RollBack Rx can maintain a
checkpoint history with a small amount of disk space.

For more information on the comparison between MS System restore and
Rollback you can go to:http://www.horizondatasys.com/217802.ihtml

For information on goback (not recommended) you can check out:
www.goback.com

I know for a fact that if you have some "version" of Norton Anti-Virys
(separate or with NIS, NSW or 360) you need to locate the direction on
how to "re-activate" System Restore. NAV "product protection" "lames"
System Restore.
