A great tool built into Windows Operating Systems is the System Restore function. Basically what system restore does is it takes a screen shot of your computers important files from time to time so if anything goes wrong with your computer then it can be rolled back to a time when it was working just the way you liked it.

PLEASE NOTE : All files and folders should be backed up before trying any of the following steps.

For Restoring Windows XP:

• Make sure you are logged in as Administrator
• Press the Start button, move to All Programs, move to Accessories, scroll down to System Tools and click on System Restore.
• When the program starts it should look like the screenshot below

• Make sure that the Restore my computer to an earlier time is checked. Click on the Next button.
• Now select a time your computer was at a healthy point on the calendar. ( dates that the computer can revert back to are usually marked in bold font). Click Next
• A confirmation page will now display what time it is going back to before it restores.
• Your computer will now restart. Log in as Administrator again and your computer will now be at a point to where you wanted it.
