Hi chuckdutton,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 when was the last time it was working fine?

3. What is the reason for the execution of the system restore on the computer?

4. do you have security software installed on the computer?

5. you receive similar message appears when you try with different restore points?

There are various reasons for the system restore fail on the computer.

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.
