How
to Restore a Windows XP system to a previous State using System Restore
If
Windows XP will start:
- Log on to Windows as an Administrator.
- Click Start, point to All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore.
- On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and click Next.
- Or type or paste the following command in the Start - Run box then press Enter.
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
This
command can be used at the Safe Mode Command Prompt also.
On the Select a Restore Point page,
click on a bold date on the calendar pryer to the day of the problem
stated. There may also be a restore point for an earlier time on the same day.
Try to use a restore point as close as possible to a time just before the
problem started. If the problem persists, an earlier restore point can be used.
On the Confirm Restore Point
Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP
configuration, and then restarts the computer.
If
Windows will not start in normal mode
System Restore can be run form Safe
Mode or Safe Mode Command Prompt.
Warning: When restoring a system from Safe Mode or from the Command
Prompt an Undo restore point will NOT be created!
