System Restore not working

I'm using XP sp2.
The System Restore window shows that it is "On" and "Monitoring " my h/d.
However, if I try to use the Sys Restore Wizard it says that Sys Restore is
turned off!
Has anyone any ideas what the problem is, and how to overcome it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Rey Santos & Gerry. I finally used a tip on the
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/healthy.html web site, i.e. turning sys restore
Off, rebooting, then turning it On. Seems OK so far.
