SYSTEM RECOVERY
Before performing a recovery, you should review the “Troubleshooting
Common Problems” section in this manual to see if you can resolve the
problem. If not, it is possible that a software file required by Windows XP to
operate the PC was damaged or deleted. If this is the case, there are two
strategies for recovery:
ƒ
Restoring Microsoft Windows XP using Windows XP System
Restore
This type of recovery is usually very quick and will solve most typical
problems that occur after an unsuccessful installation of an application,
device, or driver has caused instability in the system.
ƒ
Restoring the factory settings using the Application & Support
CD provided by Medion
There are several options for recovery available using the Application &
Support CD, including the ability to restore your entire system to its
original factory settings.
Restoring Microsoft Windows XP
Windows XP System Restore allows you to set recovery points . This feature
enables you to take a snapshot of the current system configuration, to which
you can return should an unsuccessful installation of an application, device,
or driver cause instability in the system.
While Windows XP automatically creates recovery points, you can also set
them manually. In addition, you can configure the maximum amount of
memory used for this.
To use System Restore to set recovery points or restore your system, click
the
Start menu, then choose All Programs , then choose Accessories , then
choose System Tools , then choose System Restore . Select the task that
you would like to perform and follow the on-screen instructions. For detailed
information, refer to Windows XP Help and Support.
System Restore includes various functions to help ensure that your PC and
installed applications and devices work correctly. These functions assist you
in solving the problems that might occur by adding, deleting, or replacing
files required for proper functioning of Windows XP and your software and
devices. The restore function you use depends on the type of problem or
error.
