Safeguarding Your Data
Software or devices added to the tablet PC can cause your system
to become unstable. To safeguard your documents, store personal
files in the My Documents folder and periodically create a
backup copy of My Documents.
Setting System Restore Points
Tablet PCs with Windows XP operating systems provide the
option of setting system restore points (benchmarks) daily as you
change your personal settings. The tablet PC may also set restore
points when you add new software or devices. You should
periodically set system restore points when the tablet PC is
functioning at optimal performance and before installing new
software or devices. This enables you to return to a previous
configuration restore point if you encounter problems.
To set a system restore point:
1. Select Start > Help and Support. Select the task “Use Tools
to view your computer information and diagnose problems.”
Select System Restore. A System Restore window opens.
2. Follow the on-screen directions for setting a restore point.
To restore the tablet PC to a previous date and time when it was
functioning optimally:
1. Select Start > Help and Support > Tools > System Restore.
2. Follow the on-screen directions for restoring the tablet PC.
