Restoring Your Operating System
System Restore
The Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating systems
provide a System Restore option which allows
you to return your computer to an earlier
operating state (without affecting data files) if
changes to the hardware, software, or other
system settings have left the computer in an
undesirable operating state. Any changes that
System Restore makes to your computer are
completely reversible.
NOTE: The procedures in this document are
applicable for the Windows default view,
so they may not apply if you set your Dell
™
computer to the Windows Classic view.
To run System Restore:
Click 1. Start .
Click 2. All Programs→ Accessories→ System
Tools→ System Restore.
NOTE: The User Account Control window
may appear. If you are an administrator on
the computer, click Continue; otherwise,
contact your administrator.
Click 3. Next and follow the instructions on the
screen.
In the event that System Restore did not resolve
the issue, you may undo the last system restore.
