The Restore System has become corrupted, and needs to be reset.

your system is not set-up or enabled for the restore point.
to turn this feature on, hold down the windows key on the keyboard and press the pause/break key. this will bring up the systems properties window with tabs at the top. select the tab that says "system restore" make sure the box is NOT CHECKED, if it is, uncheck it and if you have a large size HDD, i recommend setting the space to use to the max which will read below as 12%. it will take effect the next days as a restore point. unfortunately will will not be able to restore back a moth or so still because of now enabling it.. if you need more help you can shoot me an email if there is a problem in your system....

Hi Cuddles,
Boy, I wish I knew what caused system restore to be erratic.
For some reason it can be finicky. It has saved my bacon several times but it has let me down a time or two. Hard to figure because if one restore point was corrupted you would expect another to work. Sometimes that is the case but sometimes none of the dates will work.
Try a different date. That's about all you can do. Even then it simply won't work sometimes.
I read a couple articles about it but no one seemed to know the cause of the failed restore operations.

You system restore could simply not be enabled and if it is then you probably did not create a restore point to the date you are trying to restore to. For example, you cannot go back before your first restore point for obvious reasons. Other things may include, your restore data being severaly corrupted/fragmented/full of errors or you just have a virus which messed around with it.
