configuration using the saved Restore Point. To do this:

2 Under Pick a Task, click Undo changes to your
computer with System Restore.
3 Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, then
click Next.
4 A calendar will be presented, showing a month at a time.
Each date for which a Restore Point has been set will be
marked as bold. When a boldfaced date is clicked, a
description of the Restore Point will appear in a list to the
right.
This list may contain Restore Points that you did not create.
Restore Points labeled System Checkpoint were automatically
created by Windows
®
XP. Other Restore Points may have been
created automatically by applications when they were installed.
5 Select the desired Restore Point from the list, and then
click Next.
6 Your Windows
®
configuration will now be restored to the
state it was in when the chosen Restore Point was
created.
