I'm not sure when this began, but I noticed it after downloading IE7 and trying to undo that. No matter what date I pick, it will not restore.

This happened to me before, I know how awful and stressful this is. However there's only 1 way to fix it and its not really that easy.
What the problem is your system restore program itself has got a virus, probably from something you downloaded and opened up thinking it was safe. You could run a virus scan of the complete system but in my problem it wouldn't pick up the virus within the system restore program. So I had to reformat my computer. I would suggest that you try the virus scan first and when in doubt also scan for spy-ware. If this doesn't help you can either leave it alone and pray it doesn't mess up in the future or reformat your system.

The system may be restoring itself it may just be that the program that you downloaded has a virus on it that lets it stick with the restore. Your probably going to need to dig through your computer and manually take it off.

Go to start > run > type services.msc > ok > and be sure that the System Restore Service startup type is set to Automatic and that it is started.
