Vista - System restore won't complete successfully

I've tried using System Restore picking a dozen different restore points. I
get the same message: System restore was unable to complete successfully.

My computer is also very slow at the moment.

Thanks for your input.

Then you should scan for malaware and virus infections using several
different apps

I have done this. No joy.

One thing, perhaps related. The reason I wanted to restore my system was
because of a problem that has just arisen. I can load Quattro Pro X4, but
when I try to open either of two documents created yesterday and both with
macros in them (the only ones with macros), the program stops working and
shuts down.

My OS, by the way, is Vista Home Premium (Build 6000).

Another thing. Could the Windows Restore problem be caused by my anti-virus
program (Panda)?

I'm wondering about the advisibility of reinstalling my OS. It came
preinstalled on an HP laptop but, according to the Help section, I can
reinstall without losing either data or installed programs.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Josh
