The most common cause of this problem is a corrupted restore database. You can clear it by disabling system restore (Start|Control Panel|System|Sytem Restore tab) and rebooting, then returning to that tab and enabling restore again. Unfortunately, this removes all existing restore points, but since you can't access them their loss is not serious.
This may fix your SR but it is highly unlikely you will be able to go back further than 1 day. It may however fix the problem you're attempting to fix with SR. After running the SFC and SR still doesn't work properly you should disable SR, reboot, and enable it again.

Go to Start|Run and enter this command:
sfc /scannow (note space)
