System Restore not remembering

[Paul]

I have my system restore set to use the maximum amount of
disk space allowed (12%) which is over a gig for each
partition. But when I check the restore points, there is
only one if one was created today when I check.
Tommorrow, the restore points from today will not be
there. Plz help, I just spent over 6 hours fixing my
computer, and I would like to have a reliable restore
point.
