Greetings! Several people have asked me lately how to restore their computer to an earlier date. In most cases, they installed a new program and somehow it messed up their computer's settings and created a mess.
I found the following steps on Microsoft's website. It's very easy to understand:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click System Restore. System Restore starts.
2. On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.
3. On the Select a Restore Point page, click the most recent system checkpoint in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next. A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.
4. On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.
5. The System Restore Restoration Complete page appears.
6. Click OK.
Keep these instructions in a safe place. Some day you may need them.
Several people have e-mailed me asking what topics are covered in my latest book, Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics and Beyond. Click here to take a look for yourself.
