    System Restore within Windows 7
    System restore in Windows 7 is a great tool for helping you get back from all kinds of problems you maybe having with your computer.
    Maybe you have installed some kind of software that has made your computer act strangely or a Windows update has had a bad effect on your pc.
    Windows system restore is also a great safety net when you know you are about to make changes on your computer.
    Before you alter or install that software creating a system restore point gives you somewhere to go back to if you are not happy with the results.
    I'll now show you how to roll back to an earlier system restore point if you are using Windows 7.

    sometimes your antivirus is the real virus for deleting the files you really need.

    your system settings and registry, etc, would go back to where it was before, but the slender directory and files would still exist on your hard drive, I believe.
    You'd have to delete those manually if you want to reclaim the harddrive space, but that's not hard to do. It's usually under "program files".
    You should use the "add/remove programs" option in windows if you want to uninstall something, since it's cleaner, unless it messed up your system.
    I don't think slender has an install, btw

    Hey, quick question of you- I think I caught a virus yesterday morning. My computer is running fine, but I did a "Norton Power Eraser" scan & it said it found something, then when it tried removing it, it said "Remove was unsuccessful", I think it may be a Stealth Virus. Right before I got this virus, I organized A LOT of files, moved them around. If I would restore my computer back to a week ago, will my files still be organized or will they be in the location where they were at a week ago? Thx

  • @AaLin1134

    so basiclly you just want to click system restore right? to get your window 7 pc to restore eveything and get your computer back to the same when you got it. like my internet and stuff will still be there, but all my other stuff like the background and stuff will be gone right?

  • @willbuckley54
    @willbuckley54 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't understand. You create your own restore point which as far as I can make out is the present date and time. Is this right or am I missing something? I need to make a restore point sometime before the problem - obviously, but this seems impossible. on windows 7. XP just gave you a calendar and it was simplicity to choose virtually any day or time in the past you needed.

    • @JuliasTechSpot
      @JuliasTechSpot 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can only make a restore point of the current time and date. If you wanted to go back, you would already have to have another older restore point made already.

    Thanks for your responded. I never use antivirus or internet security program coz I feel like those program just made my computer go slower. Whenever I catch viruses. I either reinstall window or use system restore. Ive used system restore a many times right after I got a viruses and it work out for me. System restore made my system feel fresh again. Alot of people said the viruses or Trojan are still hidden in the system. Until today still an unknown answer for me.

    @VibrayteZ
    Hi
    I would say without looking at your computer the fact you are not using any anti-virus points to some kind of malware infection which is stopping you running system restore. Try running something like Malwarebytes and superantispyware's online scanner over your system and see what that finds, then try the restore again.

    of files that are hard to delete? For example, I have a file in my downloads folder that cannot be removed, or deleted, due to theing too long. It's an mp3 file. So, if I restore my computer tback to yesterdy, can that file be gone? I tried the path tool bar, but every time when i press delete, the program wants me to purchase a licenesekey. If there are solutions, to this problemI'm having, please let me know! Thank you!

  • @diypcrepairs
    @diypcrepairs  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @OnlyTheBestRemixes Do you see any restore points to roll back to?
    Also try right clicking on system restore in the system tools folder (Start - All programs - Accessories - System Tools) and selecting "Run As Administrator" it maybe that you are running User Account Control and that is what is stopping you. I don't run UAC on the pc that I did this video on. Hope this helps.

    could someone tell me how to fix lagging sounds I Unstall the driver and reinstall it and same thing is happening. Every time, restart my computer and turned on my computer it goes to restore to previous version of windows 7. I create a repair disc using DVD-R disc and it saved it on my D: drive instead of creating it on my C: drive because that is where windows is installed on my computer. I am kinda confuse. Is that normal? What is the best way to fix it without doing a restore and doing a fresh start. Thank you very much!
