System Recovery
Windows XP provides a useful function enabling the storage of the
so-called Recovery points .
The system remembers the current configuration as a snapshot
and returns to this, if necessary. The advantage is that an unsuc-
cessful installation can be cancelled.
Recovery points are created automatically by the system, but
they can also be set manually.
You can determine and configure yourself the maximum memory
taken up by this. You find this program in the program file under
accessories , system programs .
We recommend setting a recovery point before installing a new
software or driver. If the system does not run stable any longer
this enables you usually to return to a workable configuration
without deleting newly created documents. In the next paragraph
read your options for a repair of an incorrect installation.
Correction
Windows XP includes various functions ensuring that the PC as
well as the installed applications and devices work correctly.
These functions assist you in solving the problems which might
occur by adding, deleting or replacing files required for the func-
tionality of the operating system, the applications and devices.
The recovery function or functions you use depend on the type of
occurring problem or error. For detailed information refer to the
Windows help.
