System restore tab missing from my computer>properties

Go to Start - Run and type %Windir%\INF then press enter.
In Windows Explorer go to Tools - Folder Options - View Tab and uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types”.
Find the sr.inf file, right click on it and select Install.
Or simply type or paste the following command into the Start - Run box and press enter.
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf

If the Files Needed dialog box appears, click Browse and point to one of these locations:

The i386 folder on the Windows XP CD.
The i386 folder on the hard drive, if it exists.
The C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder if the systems has been updated to Service Pack 2.
The retail version of Windows XP (SP2) CD contains the latest version of the files needed also.
