Software Updates and Recovery To restore one of the listed snapshots, drag the snapshot file to the appropriate location on your hard drive.

Using System Restore Points System Restore is an operating system feature that allows you to reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state, called a restore point. A restore point is a "snapshot" of your software, drivers, and operating system files at a particular time. The computer automatically creates restore points at regular intervals and may create additional restore points when you change your personal settings or add software or hardware. You can manually create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually create restore points ■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware. ■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally. Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For example, restoring your system software to an earlier state will not affect documents or e-mails that you saved after that time. ✎ If you do not like the results of your restoration, you can reverse the restoration.
