Restoring the Computer to an Earlier Operating State
If problems occur after you install a device driver, first try using Device
Driver Rollback (see page 59). If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve
the problem, then use System Restore.
NOTICE: Before restoring the computer to an earlier operating state, save
and close all open files and exit all open programs. Do not alter, open, or delete
any files or programs until the system restoration is complete.
1 Click the Start button, point to All Programs (point to Programs in
Windows Me)—>Accessories—>System Tools, and then click
System Restore.
2 Be sure Restore my computer to an earlier time is selected and click
Next.
3 Click a calendar date to which you want to restore your computer.
The Select a Restore Point (Choose a Restore Point in Windows Me)
screen provides a calender that allows you to see and select restore
points. All calender dates with available restore points appear in bold.
4 Select a restore point and click Next.
If a calender date has only one restore point, then that restore point is
automatically selected. If two or more restore points are available, click
the restore point that you want to use.
NOTICE: Save and close all open files and exit all open programs. Do not
alter, open, or delete any files or programs until the system restoration is
complete.
5 Click Next (click OK in Windows Me).
In Windows XP, the Restoration Complete screen appears after System
Restore finishes collecting data, and then the computer automatically
restarts.
