Windows XP and system restore

[Gotty]

System restore is enabled on my PC, but its not making any restore points. its setup to make restore points everyday. I've had XP for a week now. Have microsoft released a patch to fix this?

never realised that there was an option to make system restore activate on a daily basis. sys restore on my box will only kick in when i install a new piece of software, driver etc.
