To create a restore point
What is a restore point?
A restore point is created automatically, for example when installing a software driver, and
used to restore your computer system files to a previous state. Even though the restore
point is created automatically, it is recommended to create the restore point manually
before installing software or a software driver on your computer because your computer
may become unstable or slow after installing new software or changing the Windows
settings. If you have created the restore point when the computer is working normally, use
the restore point to restore the system files to the previous state.
To create a restore point manually
1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, Backup and Restore Center,
and Create a restore point or change settings on the left pane.
The User Account Control window appears.
2 Click Continue.
If you are currently logged onto your computer as a standard user, enter an administrator name
and password and click Continue.
The System Properties window appears.
3 Click the System Protection tab.
4 Click to select the check box next to the drive for which you want to create a restore
point under Automatic restore points.
5 Click Create.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions.
