System no longer creating restore points on my Acer Aspire 5735

I need help figuring out why my system is no longer generating restore points and why the ones generated before are now missing.  I even went in and manually created a restore point several months ago and now even that one is missing.  Is there a setting that may have been switched off or do I have a bigger problem?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Once I posted my problem here hoping for some advice I may have found my own solution......In Control Panel choose System - in the upper left portion of the window choose System Protection(You may be prompted for the Administrator Password) which opens another window "System Properties" alittle below halfway down you should see an area labeled Available Disks with small boxes to the left of them.  I the boxes are checked then System Restoration Points s/b being created.  If you do not wish to have these points created for 1 or more disks the simply uncheck.  Once you have made your changes just click Apply(may take a few seconds) then click okay.

     

    I don't know if this will solve my problem but I am going to hope it will.  I have looked everywhere(I thought) and then as soon as I put it out there for help, I find my own possible solution(hopefully).  I will post an update incase anyone else runs into this problem.
