You didn't set a restore point I guess

Unless you have a system restore point set, you can't do it :(
For future reference, here's how to set one.
While Windows XP will set these points automatically at various times; setting a specific point can be useful if there are things you've done after Windows sets its automatic point that you want to keep. Recovery to a set System Restore Point can cause data loss from that point foward as that's the purpose of the restore point: to restore the system to a particular point in time. (The data and/or program may still be on the hard disk but the registry may no longer point to it if you restore to a point before installation of a program. This can cause problems accessing the data.)
To set a System Restore Point...
Open the Start menu
Open the Programs menu
Open the Accessories menu
Open the System Tools menu
Finally, start System Restore
Pick the option for setting a System Restore Point and click on the Next button
Fill in a name for the restore point so you can find it and click on the Create button
Click on the Close button when done
If you need to restore the system to a particular point or change the options Windows uses to set restore points use the System Restore tool as well

It sounds like your computer isn't creating restore points. Do you have this service turned on?
Is there are particular reason you want to do a restore? Are you having some kind of problem?
