SYSTEM RESTORE
Thank goodness for system restore!!! The other day my cousin sent me several
files displaying our family tree. Since
she created it with a special program, she also sent me the link to download
the program for free. It was fun
looking at our family tree and I was impressed with all the work she had done
and the wealth of information she had collected.
Unfortunately, the next morning, when I turned on my
computer, I was horrified when my normal desktop did not appear. In fact to my dismay the screen was nothing
more than a solid pink display. After
an initial few minutes of panic, I remembered “Safe Mode”. I turned my computer off and then
repeatedly tapped the F8 key as I turned on my computer again. Once my machine booted up, I searched the
help feature and was reminded of the system restore capability. Simply put, by picking an earlier date, the
computer would restore my computer to the exact settings, files, etc. that were
on my computer on the date I chose and delete anything added after that date.
Woo Hoo! I was so
excited that all would be well. And
sure enough, my computer started working again. What a relief!!!!!
