Microsoft® Windows® System Restore
Application Recovery
Use restore points to recover without losing
e-mail, documents, or your Internet history.
This option may be a good choice when:
Your computer is not currently functioning well, but did work properly in
the recent past.
A recently installed software program does not work properly or causes
conflict with other installed software programs.
A virus corrupts your computer’s operating system.
Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, or intrusive Internet cookies slow
down or disrupt your Internet browsing.
Using Windows System Restore may eliminate your custom settings,
system configuration, or updates like recent software program installation.
This option may not solve the problem, if the issue is severe.
This option may be a good choice when:
Recover single or multiple preinstalled
software programs.
One or more factory-installed software programs are not working properly.
One or more device drivers do not permit your computer to communicate
properly with certain peripheral equipment, such as a printer, mouse, or
keyboard.
A software program that was preinstalled on your computer has been
deleted and you want to restore it for use.
Application Recovery may eliminate custom software settings or configurations,
such as passwords, login information, or installation codes. The recovered
software programs may not include patches or other software repairs that
are available in later versions. This option may not resolve severe issues.
