System Restore is no longer in my System Properties any attempt to run it
generates the message " System Restore is not able to protect your
computer.Please restart your computer,and then run System Restore again".

verify if the System Restore Service is on:

from start > run and type "services.msc"
scroll down to "System Restore Service" and verify it is on Automatic.
If not right click, and go into properies and change the startup type,
and also click start.

from start > run and type "sysdm.cpl", click on System restore Tab
and verify that Turn off System Restore is not turned off.

from start > run and type "%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe"
and see if it starts..

Hi George

Try reinstalling SR. Open Windows Explorer and go to the windows\inf
folder. Find the sr.inf file, right click on it and select Install.
