Win ME "System Restore"

My problem started with an overloaded system drive, I was getting messages about insufficient disk space. Finally found out that the "_Restore" folder had accumulated 8,700 mbs of Temp files. I tried, at someone's suggestion, reducing the disk space alloted to "System Restore" using the slide in Control Panel\System\Performance\File System\Hard Disk. After I reduced the space allotted and rebooted, the System Restore closed out. Now in the File System box the slide is greyed out and when I go to the "Troubleshooting" tab the box for "Disable System Restore" is checked and if I uncheck it and "Apply" the next time I open that box the check is back.

I was able to delete 8,300 mbs of the Temp files in _Restore by revealing system folders etc. so I've got my drive back but I'd like to have use of the System Restore function. Can anyone help????

Thanks

Can you reenable system restore, then increase the disk space slider before rebooting?

No, when I uncheck the box for System Restore and go back to the Hard Disk tab the slider is still greyed out, then when I close and go back the box for System Restore is checked again.
