Creating a Restore Point
Restore points are created at predetermined times and at times of significant system
events such as when a program or a driver is installed. You can also decide when to
create your own restore points.
The procedures to create your own restore point are described below.
1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System
Restore.
2. Select ‘Create a restore point’, and than click Next.
3. In the Restore point description box, type a name to identify the restore
point, and than click Create. A restore point has been created.

There has to be more than 200MB of free space on the hard disk drive. If the disk
space is insufficient, a saved restore point might be deleted.
You are recommended to create a restore point when you have purchased a new
computer and before installing new programs or device drivers. Before creating a
restore point, check that the computer is operating properly. N N N N o o o o tt tt e e e e
