4.1 Restoring the system

The system can develop problems due to erroneous operation or the installation of
additional software. If software problems develop in the originally installed software,
you can restore the system by using system backup and restoration features.
Notes:
• The system closes all programs before it performs system restoration. Be
sure to save your data.
• The existing system settings will change after restoration. Check the settings
of the restored system to ensure they match settings that may be critical to
your needs.
Use the following procedure to restore the software to a known functional level:
1. Choose System Restoration via Start → Programs → Accessories →
System tools.
2. Choose either the recommended restore or select a different recovery time from
the pop-up box. Choose the latest date when the system was running properly.
3. Click Next.
The system starts restoration. When all processes run to completion, the system
displays a message informing you that the restore operation has completed
successfully.
