Windows XP to enable the resolution of various problems without reinstalling Windows XP complete-
ly.
You can use System Restore in the following cases.
•
The system files are deleted or damaged by mistake.
•
The system is unstable or a problem occurs in a device driver.
•
A problem occurs after changing system files such as the registry.
•
A problem occurs after installing a new program.
Creating a Restore Point
Restore points are created at predetermined times and at times of significant system events such as
when a program or a driver is installed. You can also decide when to create your own restore points.
There must be more than 200MB of free space on the hard disk drive. If the disk space is insuf-
ficient, a saved restore point might be deleted.
It is recommended to creating a restore point when purchasing a new computer and before in-
stalling new programs or device drivers. Before creating a restore point, check that the computer
is operating properly.
The procedures to create your own restore point are described below.
