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 instructions,
see "Manually creating a restore point" on page
tap Start, then click or tap Help and Support. Type windows system restore

CHAPTER 7: Maintaining Your Notebook
If only one or two items of software or hardware have
stopped working correctly, the problem may be solved by
re-installing the software or the hardware drivers. For
instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were
not pre-installed, see that product's documentation or
support Web site.
If re-installing 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
on page 80.
