Software Updates and Restorations
Using the System Restore Utility
The System Restore utility enables you to safeguard your system
files and settings by using restore points, which are restorable,
benchmark “snapshots” of your system.
The notebook sets restore points, called system restore points, at
regular intervals and might set additional restore points whenever
you change your personal settings or add software or hardware.
Setting additional restore points manually provides additional
protection for your system files and settings. Compaq
recommends that you manually set restore points:
■ Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
■ Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.

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 screen.
Restoring to a Restore Point
