Resolution
1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.exe and press Enter
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows
NT \ SystemRestore
In the right-pane:
3. Exit the Registry Editor.

using Group Policy Editor as well.
1. Click Start, Run and type GPEDIT.MSC
2. Navigate to this path:
-> Computer
Configuration

----> System

3. Set Turn off System Restore to Not Configured

For standalone Windows Vista systems, use these steps:
Using the Group Policy Editor
If your edition of Windows Vista includes the Group Policy Editor snap-in (gpedit.msc), follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER
2. Go to the following branch:
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | System Restore
3. Double-click Turn off Configuration and set it to Not configured.
Note: If the above setting is already set to Not configured, set it to Enabled and click Apply. Then revert back the setting to Not configured, and click Apply, OK.
4. Exit the Group Policy Editor.
Using the Registry Editor
1. Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ SystemRestore
3. In the right-pane, delete the value named DisableConfig
4. Exit the Registry Editor.
If you set the Turn of configuration option to Enabled, the
option to configure System Restore on the Configuration Interface
disappears. If the Turn off Configuration setting is disabled, the
configuration interface is still visible, but all System Restore
configuration defaults are enforced, and the Create button is grayed out. If you set it to Not configured, the configuration interface for System Restore remains, and the user has the ability to configure System Restore.

Hi,
The resolution is :-
1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.exe and press Enter
2. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows
NT \ SystemRestore
In the right-pane:
3. Exit the Registry Editor.
In Windows XP Professional, you can accomplish the above
using Group Policy Editor as well.
1. Click Start, Run and type GPEDIT.MSC
2. Navigate to this path:
-> Computer
Configuration
--> Administrative Templates
---> System
----> System
Restore
3. Set Turn off System Restore to Not Configured
4. Set Turn off Configuration to Not Configured
Note :-
Turn off Configuration corresponds to DisableConfig registry value. With this Policy turned ON, the System Restore
tab will remain displayed but the user cannot configure the SR options. It reads disabled by Group Policy.
Any further help, let me know.
Thanks.

Reinstall the windows to resolve the problem.
SOURCE: my system restore has been turned off by a group
If this machine is on a network then the Admin has done that.
If machine is NOT on a network, then it probably was at some time.
If so to access Admin rights you will need that Admin passwrod to correct things!!
