Recovering your system 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. 2 Click Undo changes to your computer with System Restore. The Welcome to System Restore dialog box opens. 10 www.gateway.com
