Have you ever installed a program onto your computer and found that it causes all sorts of issues. Or your computer might not startup anymore after you have done some changes to it. There is hope for you. Windows System Restore is part of the Window XP operating system and gives you the ability to restore your computer to an earlier state. The good (or not so good) thing about it is that if you restore your computer to an earlier date (for example 10 days prior to now) you will not loose any documents, emails or pictures that has been created since then. It only sets back system settings such as program installs or system changes - not user created data. Below are the steps to start System Restore:

1. Restart your computer and press [F8] during the initial startup.
2. When you see the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select the Safe Mode with a Command Prompt option.
3. Select the Windows XP operating system.
4. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
5. Type the following command at a command prompt:C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
6. You will now see the System Restore program. Just follow the instructions on the screen.

Always remember that if you are having trouble fixing any software or hardware issues on your computer do not waste your valuable time, rather call a professional that can get straight to the point and get your issue resolved.
