Hi - I'm still uncertain about system restore - if I've installed a bunch of programmes, is it best to create a system restore point afterwards, so if a crash occurs, I can restore to the point after I installed the programmes - is this how it works?

Hi 1. From the start menu, go to programs, accessories, system tools, system restore. 2. I am unclear as to whether you would like to restore your machine to an earlier installation restore point, or create a manual restore point, meaning that you can definitely return to it later. Possible types of restore points are: system checkpoints (scheduled restore points created by your computer), manual restore points (restore points created by you), and installation restore points (automatic restore points created when certain programs are installed). For now, we will assume you want to return to an earlier installation restore point. Press alt+R to activate this radio button, although it is selected by default. Having said all that, jaws reads this screen very well anyway as it is html based, so use the arrow keys in the way you would normally explore aweb page. 3. Once the radio button has been selected, press the letter B to reach the next available button which is titled "next", then press enter. 4. You are now able to select a point to which you wish to return. By default, this is all activity of today. If you wish to view the restore points for today, press the letter L to reach the list of restore points, and arrow down to view them. For example, the list on my computer for today shows: 15:30:10 Installed MSN Messenger 6.2 However, a calendar is also available from which you can select a previous date to take your machine back to. Activate the jaws cursor, and use this to explore the calendar. You can only return to dates which are in bold, so use the jaws cursor to focus upon a date, then hit insert+F to verify whether the text is in bold or not. If it is, and you want to return to it, hit the left mouse button to activate it, then return to the pc cursor. The list then changes to reflect the installation restore points for the given date. Assuming you are happy with this, press the letter B repeatedly until the "next" button is reached, then press enter. That's about it. You may need to confirm the operation at that point by activating another "next" button, then windows will do whatever it needs to do. Note there will be no speech during this operation until at the very least the computer re-starts. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TrueBlue And Proud Sent: 02 July 2004 16:04 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] system restore help please. hi guys, can someone please give me step by step Instructions, in how to use system restore on a xp home system.
