System Restore

One of the powerful utilities within the Help and Support Center is
the System Restore utility. With this utility, you can recover from fatal
errors that are the direct result of failed hardware or software installations.
Your operating system automatically sets restore points whenever you
install a new piece of software or add a new hardware device. If you
find yourself in a situation in which your computer is malfunctioning
after you have recently installed something, running System Restore
from the Help and Support Center will allow you to revert back to a
point before the installation occurred, thus protecting your valuable
data and the integrity of your system.

Why use the Help and Support Center?

• Most likely the answer to your question can already be answered

within the Help and Support Center.

• The Help and Support Center gives you the user, the power to

solve your own problem or answer your own question without
having to rely on the traditional methods of support. (i.e. technical
support phone call, surfing the internet for answers)
