System restore

Dec 16, 2003 11:12AM PST

I am having trouble getting system restore to work. It seems as if it is going to restore to a previous date but then says it can't restore. I am running a pentium 4 Windows xp professional. I have restored before so I know it WAS capable of restoring. Help !!! please
