System Restore

The Microsoft

®

Windows XP operating system provides System Restore to allow you to

return your computer to an earlier operating state (without affecting data files) if changes
to the hardware, software, or other system settings have left the computer in an undesirable
operating state. See the Windows Help and Support for information on using System
Restore. To access the Windows Help and Support Center, see page 32.

NOTICE: Make regular backups of your data files. System Restore does not monitor your data

files or recover them.
