CHAPTER 4: Recovering Your System
40
Recovering your system using Microsoft System Restore
Before using Gateway System Recovery, you should try Microsoft System Restore to determine
whether you can restore your system to a previous condition.
Every time you install new device drivers or software, and every 24 hours (while your computer
is turned on), Microsoft System Restore takes a “snapshot” of your system settings and saves it
as a restore point. In most cases of hard-to-resolve software problems, you can return to one
of these restore points to get your system running again.
To restore using Microsoft System Restore:
1 Press F1. The Microsoft Windows XP Help and Support Center opens.
2 Click Undo changes to your computer with System Restore. The Welcome to System
Restore dialog box opens.
3 Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, then click Next. The Select a Restore
Point dialog box opens.
4 Click a bold date on the calendar (Step 1 on the screen), then click a restore point in the
list (Step 2 on the screen).
