System Restore doesn't let me when I first installed xp. How can I make a point of initial system check?

I have not installed xp mysrelf.

This is normal.  System restore points are purged after 90 days.  System Restore also has a feature of space management of automatic restore point that purge older restore points to make room for the new, while allowing the user to recover from the recent destructive changes.  By default, up to a maximum of 12% of the disk hard is allocated for restore points, even if it must be manually reconfigured to 1 GB.

In any case it is generally not a good idea to restore to a time more than a week or two ago, because too many events that are not controlled by the system restore will be arrived in the meantime.

In addition, the restore points are chained together, so that you cannot save a former and delete the most recent.  This will break the whole system restore function and require you to serve all points and start over.
