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
notebook 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.
