I've also had that same message, "System restore unsuccessful, no changes were made to your system". Running system restore in safe mode can sometimes get around that problem, it has for me. If you don't already know, you get into safe mode by pumping the f8 key during the boot-up.
Check to see if system restore actually has any restore points recorded. I once had a malware problem that caused previous restore points to be deleted, making the problem difficult to recover from. A reinstall was needed IIRC >:( Also, Windows updates can at times conflict with hardware (in my experience). See if "Add or Remove Programs" lists a patch installed within the last few days, or go to Microsoft Update and click on "Review your update history" to see if anything was added recently. Good luck with a solution.

Tried three days, five days, and a week back, but every time it came back saying "System restore unsucessfull, no changes were made to your system" between that date and now. The only other thing I can think of is that Windows' basic USB drivers may have been corrupted, but I don't know how to fix that.
