Using System Restore
System Restore is an operating system feature that enables you to undo
harmful changes to your notebook software by restoring your software to
an earlier time, called a
restore point,
when your software was functioning
optimally.
Restore points are restorable, benchmark “snapshots” of your software,
driver, and operating system files. The notebook sets restore points at regular
intervals and may set additional restore points whenever you change your
personal settings or add software or hardware.
Manually setting additional restore points provides additional protection
for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually set
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 time will not affect documents
or e-mails that you saved after that time. All System Restore procedures are
reversible.
Setting a restore point
To set a system restore point manually:
1. Select
Start > Help and Support > System Restore
.
2. Select
Create a restore point
, and then follow the instructions on the
