Setting System Restore Points

Notebooks with Windows XP operating systems provide the option of setting system restore points (benchmarks) daily as you change your personal settings. The notebook may also set restore points when you add new software or devices. You should periodically set system restore points when the notebook is functioning at optimal performance and before installing new software or devices. Doing this enables you to return to a previous configuration restore point if you encounter problems.

To set a system restore point:

1.Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.

2.Select Create a restore point, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

To restore the notebook to a previous date and time when it was functioning optimally:

1.Make sure the notebook is connected to a reliable AC outlet through the AC adapter.

2.Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.

3.Select Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
