How much space in % have you set aside for RESTORE POINTs.?
How big is your HDD? Vista normally set aside 15% of the HDD for restore points.. so the size of your HDD will determine how much can be saved.

To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk that has System Protection turned on. System Restore might use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore will delete older restore points to make room for new ones.

System Restore will not run on hard disks smaller than 1 gigabyte (GB).

How long are restore points saved?
Restore points are saved until the hard disk space System Restore reserves is filled up. As new restore points are created, old ones are deleted. If you turn off System Protection (the feature that creates restore points) on a disk, all restore points are deleted from that disk. When you turn System Protection back on, new restore points are created.
To get into RESTORE -- Start --> all programs --> Accessories --> System tools --> system restore
