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 computer 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.
