Sounds like the data is either missing, or you did not have syst restore turned on for the drive you are working on.
Did you ever create a restore point?
Are you logged in...
What version of windows are you running ?
Some earlier versions you cannot restore after a certain point...
We had that problem were I used to work...
What OS and backup/restore software?
Try creating one now. Then see if any older ones show up.
Eat an Apple.
Why are you trying to go to a previous date?
What’s wrong with your computer now?
System Restore “restore points” are missing or deleted

If you think you are infected, type msconfig in the Start menu search box. Go to the startup tab and uncheck any application that doesn’t belong. Particularly stop apps from starting that don’t have a company name. This doesn’t remove the virus, but is a good first step in stopping it from restarting, unless your registry is deeply infected.
•open control panel
•click the classic view in the tasks pane
•double click administrative tools
•double click services
•look for the microsoft software shadow copy provider and double click it
•in the start up type menu (select automatic)
•in the start button click it
•click apply and then ok
•look for volume shadow copy service and perform the same procedure
•exit and reboot the computer

Hope the above helps.
did you create a system restore point ion tat date
If you have a process that has frozen and keeps loading into memory after a reboot, do a ctrl-shift-esc and then find the exe for it in the process tab and kill it. Then uninstall the app from the control panel if you can. However it may be hard to identify the correct exe file. Often (but not always) it is the one that is taking up most of your cpu time.
On another computer download and burn Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 and boot the computer with it and see if it can fix the problem
Did you checkmark the box that asks if you want earlier restore dates?
Also, you may have the ‘option’ set to only save so many previous restores. If you do, you may be out of luck.

I occasionally create a backup image of my OS partition, especially. I do it before and after making major updates. Backup Images have saved me many times.
I like Macrium Reflect (free home use edition).

I had to reimage last week when I was updating my browser and the Adobe flash stuff. Something locked up a file. Everything would reboot fine, even show an internet connection, but would not connect to the internet. It was some extraneous file that somehow got deleted. After the reimaging, it worked and I was able to re-update the browser and flash.
For future issues use a backup program to copy the files to a separate hard drive. The programs can also do an image of your whole hard drive so it can restore like Windows System Restore but do a better job of it.
I use EaseUS Todo Backup. It does image and incremental backups and you can specify when to delete the older backup files as they can fill up your separate hard drive quickly. Get a big one : )
