HOW TO RESTORE YOUR COMPUTER USING WINDOWS XP
The Microsoft Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to enable 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.
You can choose to restore your computer to an earlier time, or create a restore point.
Windows will guide you through the process.
RESTORING THE COMPUTER TO AN EARLIER OPERATING STATE
If problems occur after you install a device driver, use Device Driver Rollback to resolve
the problem. Click "Start" and then "Control Panel" and "Performance and
Maintenance," and then click "System." On the Hardware Tab, click "Device Manager."
Right click on the driver you want to roll back and choose "Properties." Click the Driver
Tab, and then click "Roll Back Driver." If that is unsuccessful, then use System Restore.
Click "Start," and then "Programs," " Accessories," "System Tools," and finally "System
Restore." Make sure that "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is selected and click
"Next."
The "Select a Restore Point" screen provides a calendar that allows you to see and
select restore points. All calendar dates with available restore points appear in boldface
type.
Select a restore point and click "Next." If a calendar date has only one restore point,
then that restore point is automatically selected. If two or more restore points are avail-
able, click the restore point that you prefer. Click "Next." The Restoration Complete
screen appears after System Restore finishes collecting data and then the computer
restarts.
After the computer restarts, click "OK." To change the restore point, you can either
repeat the steps using a different restore point, or you can undo the restoration.
For additional help, contact Geek Squad or visit your local Best Buy store and talk with a
customer support professional.
