try going administative tools/services and check to see if system restore service is enabled and running, also do you have administrative privileges on that user account? cant think of any other reason system restore wouldnt show up.

"Question:
I had a virus and found instructions to disable system restore in order to rid the virus from my system. After disabling system restore, then running my virus scan, the system restore tab has disappeared from the system properties window. How do I get this back?
Solution:
In order to restore your system restore tab, you will need to edit the registry. Be sure that you make a backup copy of the registry prior to making any changes.
