To recover your system:
1. Perform minor fixes.
If only one or two items of software or hardware have stopped working
correctly, the problem may be solved by reinstalling the software or the
device drivers.
To recover software and drivers that were pre-installed at the factory, see
"Recovering pre-installed software and drivers" on page 83.
For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not pre-
installed, see that product's documentation or technical support Web
site.
2. Revert to a previous system condition.
If reinstalling software or drivers does not help, then the problem may be
solved by returning your system to a previous state when everything was
working correctly.
For instructions, see "Returning to a previous system condition" on page
84.
3. Reset your system to its factory condition.
If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your system
to factory condition, see "Returning your system to its factory condition"
on page 85.
