Restoring the Computer to an Earlier Operating State

If problems occur after installing a device driver, first try using Device Driver Rollback (see page 46). If that is unsuccessful, then use System Restore.

NOTICE: Before restoring the computer to an earlier time, save and close all open files and close all open programs. Do not alter, open, or delete any files or programs until the system restoration is complete.

1Click the Start button, point to All Programs (Programs in Windows Me)—>Accessories—>System Tools, and then click System Restore.

2Be sure Restore my computer to an earlier time is selected, and then click Next.

3Click 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 calendar that allows you to see and select restore points. All calendar dates with available restore points appear in bold.

4Select a restore point, and then click Next.

If a calendar 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 close all open programs. Do not alter, open, or delete any files or programs until the system restoration is complete.

5Click Next (click OK in Windows Me).

The Restoration Complete screen appears (the Restoration in Progress screen in Windows Me) after System Restore completes collecting data, and then the computer automatically restarts.
