How to Conduct a System Restore
1. Start with your desktop and click the Start menu in the bottom left hand side of your screen. You will be presented with a column of applications.
2. At the very bottom of that column, click
All Programs and another column of options will be opened.
3. In that vertical menu, click Accessories and yet another column will appear to the right of that one.
4. Next, click System Tools which can be found in the newly opened column. One last column will appear and somewhere in that column you’ll find System Restore.
5. Click on System Restore and wait for the pop up that comes up telling you about System Restore and what it does. The title would be Restore system files and settings.
6. In the bottom right corner of the pop up, click Next to continue.
7. The next page that comes up should be a list of dates and times you can restore your computer to. Be sure to save any documents or pictures before you restore. Also, programs installed after the date you want to restore your computer to may very likely be uninstalled.
8. Choose a date and time from the given options in the chart shown. Then click Scan for Affected Programs right below the list of options. Another pop up will tell you which programs will be affected or uninstalled. When you’re done looking through those, close that pop up and click Ok to proceed with your system restore. The next page will ask you to confirm your restore point. Make sure at this point to save any work and close all programs.
9. When you’re ready, click Next. Beware that once you start a system restore, it cannot be reversed or stopped. You will lose everything new added into your computer between the time period of when you conduct the system restore to the system restore point. Yet another pop up will show on your screen warning you that there is no turning back and also asking for a last confirmation. Click Yes to proceed. Your computer will then restart and when that’s done, your computer will have been successfully restored to the settings of the restore point.
Congratulations! You will now have successfully conducted a system restore on your computer. (:
