• Make regular backups of system files, applications, and data - You may inadvertently
install software that negatively affects your system and is impossible to uninstall, or make
a mistake in critical operating system settings that can take hours to repair. Periodic
backups of system files and applications, and updating these backups before adding
software or modifying operating system settings will protect your files. Windows ME and
Windows XP have a special feature called System Restore. You can use this feature to
undo harmful changes to your computer and restore its settings. Investing in a backup
storage device is also a good idea. This device provides automatic, scheduled backups
of the system.
Following the guidelines above and paying close attention to your computer and its performance
may help to alert you to serious problems before they cause data loss or hardware failure.
