Many individuals suffer from various problems that are associated with something that has gone wrong with their computer. In some cases, the boot process loops, i.e. the computer keeps restarting or the operating system loads but continually restarts at some point during the process. There are not many things one can do to remedy the situation. However, one of the best solutions is to use a feature of Windows known as System Restore. According to Wikipedia, “System Restore is a component of Microsoft’s Windows Me, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems that allows for the rolling back of system files, registry keys, installed programs, etc., to a previous state in the event of a failure.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Restore
Not many people know how to use System Restore, so I will give you a guided tour of how to use it. Here are the steps:
1. Ensure first of all that you are logged on to Windows as an Administrator.
2. Click the Start button then go to All Programs (or Programs in Windows 2000) then Accessories then System Tools, and then click System Restore.
3. On the Welcome to the System Restore page, click on Restore my computer to an earlier time and then click Next.
4. On the Select a Restore Point page, click on a date (one that is bold) from the calendar when last your computer worked fine. A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click on OK.
5. On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click on Next. System Restore will then restore the previous Windows configuration and then restart the computer.
6. When the log on screen appears (if you selected that it be shown), log in as an Administrator. The System Restore Restoration Complete page will appear.
7. Click OK.
If you wish to undo a previous System Restore configuration that you may not have wanted to do, go to this page for more information.
