Jim: I have seen System Restore be disabled by a variety of things. Right click on My Computer, left click on Properties. Click on the Performance tab and then on the File System button. Then click on the Troubleshooting tab (They really buried this one), and make sure that "Disable System Restore" is unchecked. Another trick that has worked in the past, even if this option is unchecked, is checking it and then unchecking it. I forget whether a reboot is needed in between the checking and unchecking actions. It may be.
Another factor is disk space. Make sure you have enough for System Restore. Hope this helps.
