I am running Windows XP. When I create a restore point and later try to
restore my system to that point, the restore operation will not preform. It
tries to restore my computer by rebooting, but I get a message that the
"Restore is Incomplete".

This is probably caused by some malware/virus. If you type the following
into a Google search box then you will see a number of similar incidents:

"Restore is Incomplete" "System restore"

Some internet security suites or antivirus applications disable System
Restore. Try temporarily disabling your IS or AV application, then try the
restore.

Try doing the restore from safe mode.

....but know in safe mode, there's no "Undo my last restoration" option.
