[pchelpers] Re: restoring a computer

        PC

       Here are the instructions from the help file. I sent this once but
the PCHELPERS reflector apparently blocked it. I will try this one more
time.          Cy
To run System Restore from the startup disk 
If your computer cannot start Windows in Safe mode after you've performed
a System Restore, you can run System Restore from a startup disk. This
will return your computer to the state it was in prior to the restore. 
1.Turn your computer on, and insert the startup disk into your floppy
disk drive.
2.Select one of the startup options from the Microsoft Windows Millennium
Startup Menu. 
If the last action you performed on your computer before starting with
the startup disk was a restoration, then a message appears that
recommends that you revert your last restore. 
3.Type 1 to select Revert the Restore Changes Made to my System
(recommended). 
If you select 2, you will not have the opportunity to revert this
restoration from the startup disk again.
4.To repair the condition you were originally trying to fix, use System
Restore again to roll back to another restore point.
Warnings
If you do not undo the restore changes when prompted, and you make other
changes while running your computer from the startup disk, you will not
have another opportunity to undo this particular restore from the startup
disk.
You must create your startup disk when your system is stable. You cannot
create one once your system is unable to start Windows. For more
information, click Related Topics below.
Help may not be available when you start Windows from the startup disk.
You may want to print this topic now for future reference.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
