NO! Don't do it - it's a scam. Here's how you do it, step by step:
https://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx
There are two ways to access "System Restore“ through Help and Support or through your All Programs folder.
Through Help and Support:
1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
2. Under Pick a Task, click Undo changes to your computer with
System Restore.
3. Follow the instructions on the wizard.
Through the All Programs menu:
1.Click Start.
2.Point to All Programs.
3.Point to Accessories.
4.Point to System Tools.
5.Click System Restore.
6.Follow the instructions on the wizard.
Creating a restore point can be useful any time you anticipate making changes to your computer that are risky or might make your computer unstable. If something goes wrong, you select the restore point you just created and Windows XP undoes any system changes made since that time.
Create a Restore Point
1. Open System Restore. (See step-by-step instructions above.)
2. Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.
3. In the Restore point description box, type a name to identify this restore point as seen in Figure 1 below. System Restore automatically adds the date and time that this Restore Point is created.
To finish creating this restore point, click Create. To cancel restore point creation and return to the Welcome to System Restore screen, click Back. To cancel restore point creation and exit the System Restore Wizard, click Cancel.
To view or to return to this restore point, from the Welcome to System Restore screen of the System Restore Wizard select Restore my computer to an earlier time. Then select the date you created the restore point from the calendar in the Select a Restore Point screen. All of the restore points you created and you computer created on the selected date are listed by name in the list box to the right of the calendar.
Note System Restore does not replace the process of uninstalling a program. To completely remove the files installed by a program, you must remove the program using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or the program's own uninstall program. To open Add or Remove Programs, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

You don't have to pay for the built-in System Restore option of your Windows operating system; however, some companies provide recovery services for your computer in the event that you can no longer access System Restore. I don't believe that such a service would cost as low as 29.95 USD.

First of all, now days most new computer or laptops from the years 2003 and up have a 2nd hard-drive on them. they are called a restoration drive (D:/). to tell if your computer has this go to my computer and look to see how many hard-drives you have. then if you have a D:/ drive chances are it is the restore drive. if so restart the computer and press down and hold the F10 key (this works on most computers). if that does not work, go to help and support and search for system restore. (note. restoring the computer will erase all of your files and programs, but will put the default files back on the system).

If you are not computer literate use your money to buy a book such as "Windows XP MVP" which costs around $35 I guarantee you will not be ripped of by sharks. In the meantime click "start" click "run" type "msconfig" and choose "Launch system restore"

If you have Windows XP Pro or Home, then System Restore comes with it... if someone is trying to get you to pay it is either something else, or a scam

system restore is done from your contrl panel- i'm sure. I've done it myself loads of times- it asks you what period you want to restore from- you select what dates you know it was ok from and then voila-
Never had to pay for a system restore- nor would you need to go to an external site. Don't pay- just use your comp system- it' prompts you and is pretty much fool proof.
Good luck!
