has anyone used it, what does it do??
because i don't want to format my pc, and i'm still dealing with new windows when i open folders ( have tried everything )

thanks in advance
 
It's a cool option - it lets you turn the clock back and restart your computer at a previous date - before you installed a program of deleted something and caused problems with your system.

It is also called Rollback by another application - rolling back the time to a previous day or time, obviously you lose any data/files/work done/saved since that time unless saved to a different drive.

Hope this helps
 
Yea, I would have to agree w/ riscy......

I use it quite a bit. Both the restore option and the "create restore point" option.

Usually before I install, uninstall, delete, or update anything major.
 
thanks =P
but i was referring to the restore option under the winXP setup ( when you reboot with the XP cd inside, it asks you if you would like to run system restore ), it asks me for a diskette...
has anyone done it before??

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
