possible that it went corrupt or something...
System restore is far too unreliable and it slows down the system + takes away your free space. That's why i don't use it. ;)

download and isntall a spyware scanner and antivirus scanner. (microsoft antispyware and avg are good ones).

Run some scans and remove whatever you find.

back up and re-format if you haven't in a year or more.

if system restore is failing, you wont get it back. Do a fresh install. I had it happen to me before. also, system restore will not work with Norton ghost. If you used ghost to re-install your OS image, system restore will fail.
also, did you remove a hard drive that system restore was monitoring, but isnt there now?
