Windows - System Restore-one of the best tools people forget about.

  Have you ever had your system  crash or a driver become corrupt? There are many reason this can happen, such as a power failure or a bad install of Windows Update. There is an easy fix that works 90% of the time. Now if you have a virus or malware this will not be the fix but for other problems like those I described a second ago, system restore is great. It is basically a time machine that will return your system to the previous working state.

There are several ways to get to system restore. We will use Windows 7 as an example but it is available on Win 2K, XP and Vista. Go to the start menu, then all programs, accessories, system tools and system restore. You would pick the last working date and click on it and then follow the on screen notes to fix the system. It does take some time to do and will need to reboot and then continue the restore. And you are done.

I strongly suggest that you find the system restore and make sure you have a few restore points. Each time you get an update from Windows, it will set up a restore point, or it is supposed too but make sure you have those points.
