Re: System Restore

Hi

No - SR doesn't monitor data files - so your music, video files will be OK.
SR will restore system files + the Registry entries.

Depending on your problem, use the SR checkpoint before any problems
started.

If I do a system restore will it wipe out my downloaded music, videos
ect...?

Can someone walk me through the system restore process, should I create a
restore point or use a specific date what is the difference?, my problem
started almost one year ago, I do not know the exact date

At the time of the problem I also think I had a virus, if I restore will
I
get the virus back??
