Where are the system restore points I created? (Issue-2, Win7 64bit New Install)

Just installed, ( 15 APR 14 - clean formatted partition), Win 7 Home Premium 64bit on a system previously running XP. Under XP, I always created a system restore point (SRP) prior to any new s/w installs or version upgrades. After install of Win7, I found a system generated SRP as expected. Before I allowed Windows to update my system with required updates, I created a SRP. I created new SRP's prior to loading Adobe products (Reader and FlashPlayer), so I could access e-mailed/files, etc. ... each required reboots. Before install of my Office suite I checked the SRP's and those I created are missing. Only the system generated SRP is there. I checked the box to 'Show more restore points', and still no self generated SRP's. Another reboot produced nothing new.

NOTE: Not a space issue, new install with Restore Settings Max Usage set at 5%(7.45gb), Current usage is 1.36gb -- so something is there.

Where are the system restore points I created? How do I display them if I need them??
