Answer 2

Windows XP includes the System Restore feature, which is much like an enhanced Last Known Good Configuration. Just like LKG, you can use System Restore to restore the computer to a known previous state using the backups that it makes of selected system files and program files. System Restore is enhanced over LKG because it maintains multiple restore points instead of one last restore point.
Windows XP normally maintains a restore point for each drive letter if the feature is turned on. To turn on or off:

Click Start. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Check or uncheck Turn off System Restore on all drives checkbox. Click Apply, and then click OK. Notes: You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this. If you are not logged in as an Administrator, the System Restore tab will not be displayed.

If you turn off System Restore, the following message appears:

You have chosen to turn of System Restore. If you continue all existing restore points will be deleted and you will not be able to track or undo changes to your computer.

You normally don't want to turn of System Restore. For virus recovery and other specialized situations, you may want to delete the existing restore points and start over. There have also been reports of System Restore being turned ON but there being no restore points. The solution: turn System Restore off and then back on. Its asif the system does know that System Restore should be on.

Answer 3

both versions of xp(home and pro) both have system restore,to access it you go start>all programs>accesories>system tools>system restore
you can then pick a restore point depending on the size of your hard drive(the bigger the drive the more restore points),allthough you do have a option to decrease the percentage of restore points by using the slider in start>control panel>system properties>system restore,and adjust the slider to the left,but i would advise you keep it at max so you have more avalible restore points to use
if you do a restore and you are not happy with the results you can turn back the restore,and go back to your original settings
one tip,back up your data if possible before a system restore as programs can dissapear after a restore and take ages to track down,invest in a external hard drive, i got a freecom 80gb hdd for less than £60,and its been a massive help

Answer 8

I have an Idea save your work on a cd or floppy and wipe out your entire computers memory by asking your dad or person with knowlege.
Until its like when you first got it and download your data from the cd for a FULL SYSTEMS REBOOT
1 downer you will have to instal those games or work cds, still if you done it right the saved games and documents should be on your disc.
