Restoring the System

Note This description is only for models running Window XP.

The System Restore function allows you to restore your computer to an earli- er copy (called restore point), and restores the settings if a problem occurs.

The System Restore function is provided by Windows XP to enable the reso- lution of various problems without reinstalling Windows XP completely.

You can use System Restore in the following cases.

The system files are deleted or damaged by mistake.

The system is unstable or a problem occurs in a device driver.

A problem occurs after changing system files such as the registry.

A problem occurs after installing a new program.

■Creating a Restore Point

Restore points are created at predetermined times and at times of significant system events such as when a program or a driver is installed. You can also decide when to create your own restore points.

Note	There has to be more than 200MB of free space on the hard disk drive. If the disk
	space is insufficient, a saved restore point might be deleted.
	You are recommended to create a restore point when you have purchased a new
	computer and before installing new programs or device drivers. Before creating a
	restore point, check that the computer is operating properly.

The procedures to create your own restore point are described below.
