Microsoft System Restore Microsoft Windows 7 includes a feature that enables you to restore your computer configuration to a configuration that was in use before the current software problem existed. The feature does this by creating a restore point where it records the computer settings at that time and date. When a new program is installed, the operating system automatically creates a restore point before it adds the new software. You can also set restore points manually. If you experience a problem that you think may be due to software on your computer, use System Restore to return the computer to a previous restore point.
