Thank you, that helps quite a bit. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Cant" <christopher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 11:44 AM Subject: Re: system restore in xp Hi there HF, if your using the part where it's saying choose a point and time for your restore you've got on the system, if you go down to the bottom of the page, and then arrow up you'll see the first available date and time recorded on your computer? if that dates ok then click it with your left mouse button and this will become the restore point you'll get back to when you go to next and then close? it'll restart your computer from that point. now if you want to go back more in time there's a graphic above the date shown and one below, if you press the mouse on the one above then it'll go back further than the date shown, you can review the date and see if it's changed by arrowing down to the displayed date right, now if it changes to the next month then you didn't make a restore point or you didn't install any programs for there to be a restore point for. also if you have a virus checker and it finds a file that's a virus it could well have corrupted the system restore by removing some restore points too. don't get confused by the dates and calender thing displayed on the screen, i find this way much easier to manage going back to a point! hope this helps Regards Chris Cant. ,At 14:26 21/06/2004, you wrote: >Can someone give me a crash course in using the system restore feature, >specifically choosing the dates to restore too. >It says to choose the dates and bold and there are buttons that I could >click on but don't know which dates they correspond too. > >Thanks. > > >-- >To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to >jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. >Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > >If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or >the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
