System Restore Points Erased

Every freaking time I restart the computer, restore points get erased. All
of them. So the previous versions, and all of that stops working until I
manually make a resore point. As long as the computer is on I can make 300
restore points and it stays just fine. As soon as i boot it up the next day,
it says I haven't created a restore point yet.

Which sux now because I NEED it to restore. I messed up a nero install and
the removal tool causes the microsoft register service to stop working. I'm
getting to my end with this flacky crap. They need to hurry up and fix it,
but in the mean time, what is there for me to do to fix this?

If by any chance you are dual booting with xp, and the restore points
are gone, and you did not backup your vista installation, you are
probably sunk. See this site for info on the issue:

I don't find any info on lost restore points without being in the dual
boot situation, but maybe I am not looking in the right places.

No, I use only vista. Everytime I reboot the system my restore points are
erased...

I managed to go through the registry without blowing it up, or causing
security errors, so I cleared up the other problem. The only thing that
happened was I messed up the DVD-RW driver, but there was a KB article to fix
that, and I got that straight. So the only problem is system restore now.
