Hi

How much free space do you have on the hard drive you are enabling system restore on. Also only have the system drive selected to use system restore.
System restore is great and worth enabling, A full system backup is better.

Yeah. System Restore is great - until you need it. I can't tell you how many times I've heard of System Restore failing just when it's needed most. I know this doesn't help, but in the future I'd suggest you'd consider using disc imaging software. When properly used, it's your best resource to insure the ability to restore files or drives.

Well removing your restore points as stated may have beem the start of your demise

After removing them, made a new one went ok..tried to restore back to that point same error message

Perhaps the windows systems files which you are copying using system restore have errors.
I would run chkdsk c: /f
and sfc /scannow
From an administrator command prompt
