Using System Restore
The Microsoft®Windows®XP operating system provides a System Restore feature that allows you to return your computer to an earlier operating state if
changes to the computer's hardware or software (including new hardware or program installations) or system settings, have left the computer in an
undesirable operating state. You can also undo the last system restore.
System Restore automatically creates system checkpoints. You can also manually create your own checkpoints by creating restore points
. To limit the amount of
hard disk space used, older restore points will be automatically purged.
To resolve an operating system problem, you can use System Restore from Safe Mode or Normal Mode to return your computer to an earlier operating state.
System Restore does not cause you to lose personal files stored in the My Documents folder, data files, or e-
mail messages after restoring the computer to an
earlier time. If you restore the computer to an operating state that existed before you installed a program, the program's data files are not lost, but you must
reinstall the actual program again.
System Restore is enabled on your new computer. However, if you reinstall Windows XP with less than 200 MB of free hard-disk space available, System
NOTE: If you are reinstalling an infrared driver, you must first enable the infrared sensor in the system setup program before continuing with the driver
installation.
NOTICE: It is important to make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor changes to or recover your data files. If the
original data on the hard disk is accidentally erased or overwritten, or if it becomes inaccessible because of a hard disk malfunction, use your backup
files to recover the lost or damaged data.
