Are you using any third party disk tools?
Perfect Disk or Diskeeper?
Any utility that accesses the disk outside of Windows (during boot, for
example) will cause Windows to erase all restore points. This is due to the
fact that the software is modifying the disk outside of Windows "control" so
Windows has no way of tracking the changes, making the restore points
unusable.
Also, if you're dual-booting with XP, when XP is run all restore points for
Vista will be erased as well, for basically the same reason(s).
If neither of these is the case, can you provide more information about the
hardware/software that you are running?
