Cannot create restore point on Windows 7 64-bit (SOLVED)

Disconnecting the multi-card reader from USB fixed it for me.

Background:

For the longest time I couldn't create a restore point manually.  It would timeout with an error. Seems like some Windows updates were able to create restore points, but some software (like VirtualBox) would hang on install because they couldn't create a restore point.

Some clues pointed to an issue with volumes that aren't really there.  Started suspecting the card reader.  This warning on Event viewer made me try disconnecting it:

Source: Kernel-PnP
Event ID: 219
The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device WpdBusEnumRoot\UMB\2&37c186b&0&STORAGE#VOLUME#_??_USBSTOR#DISK&VEN_KINGSTON&PROD_FCR-HS219#1&REV_RW01#123001008401&0#.


*sigh of relief*
