This article describes how to use the System Restore tool to return your computer to a previous working state.System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and stores this information as restore points. You can use these restore points to return Windows XP to a previous state.

If Windows does not start, restart Windows by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature:
- Start the computer and then press the F8 key when Windows begins to start. The Windows Advanced Options menu appears.
- Use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.
- If a boot menu appears, use the ARROW keys to select Microsoft Windows XP, and then press ENTER. Windows XP restores the computer to the most recent restore point.

- Log on to Windows as Administrator.
- Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. System Restore starts.
- On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.
- On the Select a Restore Point page, click the most recent system checkpoint in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next. A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make.
- Click OK.
- On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.
- Log on to the computer as Administrator. The System Restore Restoration Complete page appears.
- Click OK.
