Hard to say without knowing exactly what error messages
its giving you when it fails.
Please understand that while Restore Points are nice and
occasionally convenient, they are NOT a replacement for
backups. If not having restore points scares you, then
I'm inferring you are not doing backups which is a MUCH
scarier thing. This article has more:
