System Restore Problem

I am trying to restore my Dimension 8400 XP SP2 MCE to an earlier state but each 
time I receive the same error message "Your computer cannot be restored to....."  
I have tried 16 different days of back restores without success.  Any help is appreciated.

    It appears that all your restore points are corrupt.  The only solution is to disable System Restore, reboot, then re-enable System Restore.  This will purge all of your old restore points, but it is a moot point anyway, since none of them work.

    Thanks Steve,

    I figured that might be my only way out and after hearing your reasoning it was confirmed. I can handle it from here and appreciate your prompt reply and right-on-the-mark suggestions.

    Thanks again,

    Glen

    Just one point. I find that System Restore does not work for me unless I do it in Safe Mode.
