Restoring Your Operating System
System Restore
The Microsoft ® Windows ® operating systems
provide a System Restore option which allows
you to return your computer to an earlier
operating state (without affecting data files) if
changes to the hardware, software, or other
system settings have left the computer in an
undesirable operating state. Any changes that
System Restore makes to your computer are
completely reversible.
To run System Restore:
Click 1. Start .
In the search box, type 2. System Restore
and press <Enter>.
NOTE: The User Account Control window
may appear. If you are an administrator on
the computer, click Continue; otherwise,
contact your administrator.
Click 3. Next and follow the remaining prompts
on the screen.
In the event that System Restore did not resolve
the issue, you may undo the last system restore.
To undo the last System Restore:
NOTE: Before you undo the last system
restore, save and close all open files and
exit any open programs. Do not alter, open,
or delete any files or programs until the
system restoration is complete.

In the search box, type 2. System Restore
and press <Enter>.
NOTE: The User Account Control window
