Software Troubleshooting and System Recovery Software Troubleshooting Your computer uses the operating system and installed software programs during normal operation. If your computer works improperly or stops because of the software, you may be able to repair it. Some software repairs are as simple as restarting your computer, and others require performing a system recovery from files on your hard disk drive.
Microsoft System Restore Microsoft Windows 7 includes a feature that enables you to restore your computer configuration to a configuration that was in use before the current software problem existed. The feature does this by creating a restore point where it records the computer settings at that time and date. When a new program is installed, the operating system automatically creates a restore point before it adds the new software.
To uninstall a program: Close all software programs and folders. Uninstall the damaged program: Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. Under Programs, click Uninstall a program. Select the program you want to remove, and then click Uninstall. Click Yes if you want to continue with the uninstall process.
Recovery Image — Run the system recovery from a recovery image stored on your hard disk drive. The recovery image is a file that contains a copy of the original factory-shipped software. To perform a system recovery from a recovery image, see “System recovery from the Windows 7 Start menu” on page 51.
System recovery from the Windows 7 Start menu If the computer is working, and Windows 7 is responding, use these steps to perform a system recovery. NOTE: System recovery deletes all data and programs you created or installed after purchase. Therefore, ensure you have backed up, to a removable disc, any data you want to keep.
Starting system recovery from user-created recovery discs This section contains the procedure for performing a system recovery from the recovery discs you created as described in “Creating recovery discs” on page 50. NOTE: System recovery deletes all data and programs you created or installed after purchase. Therefore, ensure you back up, onto a removable disc, any data you want to keep.
