Using Microsoft
Restore
The Microsoft Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to
return your computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes
to the hardware, software, or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable
operating state. See the Windows Help and Support Center for information on using
System Restore. To access help, see page 32.
NOTICE: Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor your data
files or recover them.
