Dude had ya disabled system restore before

,if no, You may Try running it from from the built-in Administrator account.
To enter the Administrator account log off and at the welcome screen do a Ctrl+alt+del twice.
This will bring up the "Log On to Windows" box.
Type in administrator as the User Name, leave the Password blank and press enter.

you're gonna have to try a different restore point, you can also access sys restore through msconfig

well if you tried everything then the restore points are corrupt. do u use anything like symantec's ghost (save n restore), or Goback? why do you want to restore? you more then likely have a worm/virus/trojan that is messing everything up, and the best thing would be to either format reload OS, or run a series of scans, starting off with AV scans then an SFC, and from what I read on hear everyone seems to like ccleaner (never used it personally)
