Using Microsoft System Restore

Microsoft System Restore periodically takes "snapshots" of
your system settings and saves them as restore points. In
most cases of hard-to-resolve software problems, you can
return to one of these restore points to get your system
running again.
Windows automatically creates an additional restore point
each day, and also each time you install software or device
drivers. You can also create a restore point manually. For
