Windows XP - System Restore (Restoration Incomplete)

Yesterday, I did a System Restore twice to August 11th. But the problem that
I was encountering did not get fixed. So Today, I was trying to undo those
two system Restores (basically to get my system as current as possible with
updates).

Today - In system restore, I went to "Undo Last Restoration" and the the
system successfully reversed the Restore Operation that I performed at 5:55
yesterday (which was to August 11th). Then I tried to undo the first system
Restore that I did at 5:15 yesterday (which was to August 11th) - however
that was not an option. The only avaialable Restoration to Undo was the one
I performed today.

So, I tried to Restore my Computer To September 05, 2008 - System
Checkpoint, which was the day before I restored my computer twice to August
11th.

However I got a "Restoration Incomplete" when the computer booted up. It
said that the computer cannot be restored to Friday, September 05, 2008.
That No Changes Have Been Made To Your System. I had the option to Restart
System Restore by Pressing "Home". But I just pressed "OK" - And The
computer seems to be working fine.

However, I noticed that when I go to System Restore, only the month of
September
is Available now for restoration points (when I try to go back to August - It
does not go back).

Do you guys know why did I get the "Restoration Incomplete"? Should I try
Restore to September 05, 2008 again (Which was the day before I did the two
system restores to August 11th, BUT I got a "Restoration Incomplete" already?

Really Appreciate Your Help.

Please stop beginning new thread about your problems!

Your machine is still infected! System Restore won't fix the problem, even
if it were working.

Sorry, But this is something that came up in my other computer. I don't know
if we can say that my "other" machine is infected - It did have an apparent
virus - but it turn out to be false positive. Sorry, this is something new
that came up today, and I was just trying to get someone's advice.
