There are several features or tools in Windows XP that generically one perhaps might consider as being debug features. If you have a specific problem, I suggest you describe it specifically. If you simply are looking for an education on tools available in WinXP, get yourself a "how to" or similar book on the operating system, or find any one of many available web-sites. If you have in mind some specific debug feature in WinXP, do a Google search for, e.g.: "debug feature windows xp" or "debug windows xp".

As to system restore:
-- are you sure the restore points to which you tried to restore were good or valid points?
-- is your system restore service on, and set for automatic startup type?
-- you could try re-installing the system restore feature in XP, but note that if you do this procedure, it will will remove all currently saved restore points/information.
To reinstall the system restore feature:
-- find the sr.inf file in the Windows\Inf folder;
-- right-click on that file, and then in its context menu click on Install; have your (full-install) WinXP CD nearby;
-- when the process is done, reboot.

Perhaps if you told folks why you are trying to restore to an earlier time point, help could be provided to address that particular problem, aside from the fact that system restore won't work.
