Recovering your system using Microsoft System 
Restore

Before using Gateway System Recovery, you should try 
Microsoft System Restore to determine whether you can 
restore your system to a previous condition.
Every time you install new device drivers or software, and 
every 24 hours (while your computer is turned on), Microsoft 
System Restore takes a “snapshot” of your system settings and 
saves it as a 

restore point

. In most cases of hard-to-resolve 

software problems, you can return to one of these restore 
points to get your system running again.

To restore using Microsoft System Restore:

 

1

Press 

F1

. The 

Microsoft Windows XP Help and Support 

Center

 opens.
