What OS are you using? How did you try to create a restore point? More info is needed to get help.
On Win 7 right click My Computer and choose properties, then select System Protection along the left side. This should open the System Properties window to the System Protection tab where a system restore point is created.
Have any restore points been created by your system? These points are created automatically when certain changes take place, i.e. s/w changes, updates, etc.

Thanks for the response. I am using Windows Vista at present. I have checked and am unable to find any restore points that have been created. I tried to create one, but the system said was unable to create. I have had some problems in the past, and would like to use this service.
Thanks a bunch for your help.

Does this mean that you could be dual booting?
If so, then the System Restore may not work, what other OS's are installed on this machine?

Go to START--Programs---Accessories--Tools--System Restore.
Try this free system restore point. I use it every day as I want to have about two weeks points built up. A week is really plenty tho. This URL-http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_sysrestorepoint.htm

It now sounds like you OS might be corupted. Or perhaps a malware/ virus problem. Either way, the time spent further troubleshooting may be more than clean installing your OS. I would back up all data then clean install. This will clean your system to a pristine state and allow you to weed out apps you do not use any more. Good luck.

Not Dual booting. Only booting into VISTA.
See if Error 0x80070032 when creating a System Restore point in Windows Vista helps.

I had the same problem with Vista; I think it was after I had uninstalled a program. My internet wasn't being recognized as well. I tried everything I could think of including booting to "last known good configuration" to no avail. Eventually, I opened "System Configuration / General" and realized that "Load System Services" wasn't checked. I don't know how it happened, but that worked for me.

I'm new to the lounge, but saw this link in the latest Windows Secrets newsletter -- actually that's why I joined was so I could give you my 2 cents on this matter.
I too had problems with System Restore as it just would not work. It went through all the motions and looked like it was doing it; however, upon completion a message appeared showing that it did not restore the C: drive files.
My system restore broke -- and here's how. I use Paint Shop Pro and lost the help feature of that program. In researching, I found that with Windows7, the help feature would not work in many older programs. My research led me to downloading a file from Microsoft that was supposed to restore the help feature in older programs. Welllllllllllll, it was corrupt and I did not realize it. I scanned it with Avast before opening and all appeared fine. When finished, a message appeared showing some macro could not be read. I got all flustered and ended up doing a system restore (which I probably should not have), and that's when I found out I no longer had system restore function.
I called Dell and they could not get it back either. They did an assist and nothing would work re: the system restore. In chatting with the technician, I asked him if it might work in safe mode. We tried it and it worked. So, I guess that unless I do a complete re-install of the operating system, I will have to do any system restore functions from the safe mode area. I care not to do a complete re-install of the OS, so hopefully I won't have to do system restore very often.
Maybe this would work for you.

Error 0x80070032 when creating a System Restore point in Windows Vista
Symtom
When you try to create a System Restore point in Windows Vista, the following error may occur:
Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason:
The request is not supported. (0x80070032)
Resolution
This happens if the Windows Event Log and the Task Scheduler services are disabled. Follow these steps to fix the problem.
1. Click Start, Services.msc. Press {ENTER}
2. Double-click Windows Event Log
3. In the Start type list box, ensure that Automatic is selected
4. Click Start to start the service, if it's not already running
5. Close the Services console
6. Restart Windows.
If the problem persists, check the status of the Windows Event Log and Task Scheduler services. If the Task Scheduler service is in a disabled state, then download the file schedule.reg from the Attachments section below. Save the file to the Desktop, and double-click the file to merge the contents with the registry. Click Yes when asked for confirmation.
Restart Windows.

I see no one has posted this fix, although you might have already tried it. System Restore files can become corrupted. The only way around this is to turn it off on all drives in System Protection, reboot the computer and then turn it back on for the main boot drive only--usually C. This clears out the corrupted files which were useless anyway and should allow you to set a new restore point. You should not include the D recovery partition in system restore monitoring since that is the factory image file that should not be altered. In a dual boot situation, make sure you don't monitor the other system's boot drive. That too will cause errors.
