What Is the System Restore Key in Vista on Startup?
- System Restore in Windows Vista takes frequent snapshots of your computer's configuration and allows you to revert to a previous configuration. Restore a computer's system files to an earlier point in time to resolve computer problems.
- From the Advanced Startup Options menu, select the "Safe Mode" option. Once you enter safe mode, you have the option of starting System Restore, or you can load it from the Start menu.
- Use the Windows Vista operating CD to restore your system to its factory settings. Microsoft provides online details for this process, which can prove useful if you have lost access to one of your Windows user accounts.
