Recovering your system using Microsoft System Restore
Before using eMachines 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 pro blems, you can return to one of these restore po ints
to get your system running again.
To restore using Microsoft System Restore:
1Press F1. The Microsoft WindowsXP Help and Support Center opens.
2Click Undo changes to your computer with System Restore. The
Welcome to System Restore dialog box opens.
3Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, then click Next. The Select
a Restore Point dialog box opens.
