HELP! System restore problem

I tried to restore my system and twice it's telling me it cannot do it and I have to get an earlier point which I already did twice and it's still not doing it. What's going on?

You have to create the restore points in WinXP, there are automatic restore points but, that is only when certain software is installed. I'm not sure what is happening cause to many things can factor in to the problem. Is there anything strange you didn't notice?

well I got bad news. I turned off system restore and rebooted and the turned it back on thinking that might help since restoring to different points was not working. I did click on bold points but nothing. Still needed another point. Now that I turned off system restore, I was not aware that i cannot get to the previous month which is October and that's a problem. How do I fix this?

Howdy:

You can't.. Once you turned System Restore off, you erased every restore point you had and those are lost forever now..
