Windows Vista Blog

Did you know that the majority of all software issues related to Windows Vista can be resolved by just doing a system restore? I’m not talking about reloading your Windows Vista operating system or even using the Windows Vista Restore disk.

Think of the Windows Vista Restore as a way to send your computer back in time to when it was functioning. The restore will remove any trouble software that was installed after that restore point and you will not loose any of your recent documents like word, excel or pictures.

To repair windows Vista the easy way simply hit the windows start button on the bottom left and in the search box type RESTORE and you’ll immediately see System Restore at the top of the start menu. Now just select system restore and then the date you would like to restore your computer back to. Go back to a date when your computer was functioning just fine. If the issue has just started I recommend going back at least 2 weeks. The dates you can revert back to will be in bold. Just select the date and hit next. Follow the simple on screen prompts and you will be good to go. If for some reason the system restore fails follow the below.

Every once in a while your system will not be able to restore the computer. When this happens shut your computer down and start pressing the F8 key to boot into safe mode. Select the safe mode option and once you log into the Windows Vista OS follow the above to do the system restore again. Pick a different date and you should be good to go.

If you can’t even get into windows, you can boot off the installation dvd, and choose the “Repair your computer” option on the lower left hand side. Click next on the next screen.

Now choose System Restore from the System Recovery dialog. It will take a few seconds to come up, and you will see the same screen that you would see in Windows. I hope this info has helped.
