System Restoration
In Windows XP and higher, restoration points are created (system check
points) before significant system-changing alterations, enabling you to
bring the system back to the old state. This may become necessary
when new installations of programs, drivers, etc make the PC unstable
or cause it to malfunction.
You can also set restore points manually. System restore can only be
used when at least 200 MB free disk space is available. If this is not the
case, Windows deactivates the function automatically.
During system restoration, personal data such as emails and bookmarks
are not lost, but a backup can never hurt in case something goes wrong
during restoration. You can also undo system restore.
