dont think system restore should be listed under add/remove programs

to get to it

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

try looking in control panel--admin tools-services and see if system restore service is listed and enabled

can also try open command prompt as administrator and type sfc /scannow and press enter

you are not on a domain where an administrator could have disabled it or similar?

ie--school or work etc

could be caused by a virus

do you need to do a restore?

or just want to try to enable it

if you need to do a restore you can try

Boot to Windows XP Safe Mode With Command Prompt.

At the Command Prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe and press Enter.

and see if it starts system restore

ok--try re-installing system restore

Click Start, Run and type %Windir%\INF

Locate the SR.INF file. If you have configured Windows Explorer to hide known file extensions, the file may show up as SR.

To see the file extensions for all file types, then try this:

On the Tools menu in My Computer, click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box.

Right-click the SR.INF file, and then click Install
