Cannot create restore point

Thank you for the reply. Yes I've run all the checks on the hard drive also used crystal disk to check it and it checks out OK. He brought it to me because it had BSOD and he couldn't get into it. I used Blue Screen View to find the problem which was the graphics driver was corrupt. I uninstalled the driver and upgraded it to the latest one and the PC works fine now. Also when trying to get the restore fixed I found all the things in services had been disabled and enabled almost all of them, especially the ones for the system restore, but it comes up with (0x80042302) Error. I will post a pic of the error.

people sometimes miss the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider in services.
You could also try in admin cmd prompt:
vssadmin list writers

and see if that reveals any errors.

I was not sure what version he had but with what you say it had to be a 64 bit system. Also I enabled all the services and set them to automatic that had anything to do with sys. restore. Anyway Thank you to everyone for all the help, I have fixed it so he can use it again at least, he will have to decide if he wants to keep it like that without system restore, or do the upgrade install, I am done with it. Thank you to everyone again.
