Windows 2000 doesn't have system restore, that's a Windows ME and XP feature.
 
Windows 2000 does have SFC (System File Checker) that may help, however.
 
From a "Run" box type:
 
sfc /scannow
 
You may be asked for your installation media (usually your Windows 2000 CD) so be sure to have that nearby.
