BleepingComputer.com: System Restore Not Working

Hello All,
I`ve tried 6 different system restore points but with the same result each time.Vista shuts down and restarts itself but does a normal boot sequence. I t doesnt appear to start the restore ! 5 minutes or so later a message comes up saying there may have been a power "cut" or a system error. I tried it with antivirus off but that didnt work either.
Any suggestions ?
Another problem Im having that may have some bearing on the above is that none of the windows updates are being installed despite many attempts
Im using Vista Home Premium

it sounds like something is seriously corrupt there, tbh if i where you id be doing a clean install myself, i had a similar problem where the restore points would not work on my laptop so i just wiped and reinstalled and works no problem since with the restore function
