If you are experiencing extreme slow-downs or errors with your computer after installing a program, then you might need to restore to an earlier snapshot.

Here is a quick reference for restoring XP to an earlier time:

1. Click Start and select Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and finally System Restore.
2. The first time you use System Restore, two options appear on the welcome page:
   • Restore my computer to an earlier time
   • Create a restore point
3. Click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next.
4. On the calendar that appears, choose the restore point to which you would like to roll your system back. Click Next.
5. You will be prompted to close all applications before completing the restore process, because the computer will restart.
6. After the computer restarts, a confirmation screen will appear. Click OK to continue using your computer.

You will also see a message once you reboot to undo the restoration.
