CHAPTER 3: Recovering Your System

Recovering your system using Microsoft System Restore

32
Before using Gateway 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 notebook 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 problems, you can return to one of these restore points
to get your system running again.
To restore using Microsoft System Restore:
Press F1. The Microsoft Windows XP Help and Support Center opens.

Click Undo changes to your

computer with System
Restore. The Welcome to
System Restore dialog box
opens.
Click Restore my computer to

an earlier time, then click
Next. The Select a Restore Point
dialog box opens.
Click a bold date on the

calendar (Step 1 on the screen),
then click a restore point in the
list (Step 2 on the screen).
