Backing up your registry

When you add software applications or devices to your computer, the
installation process may change your registry and configuration.
If your computer does not work properly after you add applications or
devices, you need to restore the previous registry.
Before you make changes, backup the configuration. If something goes wrong,
you can restore the system registry and configuration files.
You can use ConfigSafe (for Windows 98 and Windows 2000) or System
Restore (for Windows Millennium Edition) to save the configuration before
you make changes. Then if something goes wrong, use ConfigSafe or System
Restore to restore the system registry and configuration files.
For Windows 98 or Windows 2000:

1. Click Start
2. Double-click ConfigSafe. The window opens.
3. Click the camera icon.
4. Type a name for the snapshot. For example, before installing a word
processor, you might type, "Before installing a word processor."
5. Click OK.
6. After a few moments, the main ConfigSafe window will return. The
snapshot is complete.
If you need to restore a configuration snapshot, open ConfigSafe and follow
the on-screen instructions.
