Doing a roll back can cause a lot of problems, depending on everything that changed since the point of the roll back.

It is not unusual for DirectX applications to suffer problems when using restore points.  Typically a re-installation of the video card drivers, and/or possibly sound card drivers will correct the problems.

The error you are getting is a failure from attempting to initialize DirectX.
