System restore in xp home "Charles Eaves" <charles.eaves[ at ]worldnet.att.net> 12/23/2008 9:00:27 AM I am a newbie especially when using system restore. Anyway, I can never get system restore to work in xp. I downloaded the 8.1.3 version of adobe reader and after the program was installed, the computer would not work right. I had read a post about system restore and the solution was to put the computer in safe mode. I did that and system restore worked great. No adobe icon on the desktop and I am using Adobe reader 8.1.2. I checked the microsoft website and i can't find anything about using system restore in the safe mode. Can you use sytem restore without using the safe mode? Thanks

Re: System restore in xp home Leonard Grey <l.grey[ at ]invalid.invalid> 12/23/2008 1:58:47 PM You are confusing System Restore with backing up. The role of SR is to store a relatively small number of key system and user files that can be used to restore the essential underpinnings of Windows. This allows you to use the many troubleshooting and problem solving utilities built into Windows. System Restore was not designed to back out of failed application installs (although sometimes it works that way) so you can't count on it to remove Adobe 8. The best place for help with Adobe software is the Adobe website, where you'll find technical support and a user forum. As Gerry suggests, sometimes a failure in System Restore is the sign of a malware infection. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Charles Eaves wrote: [Quoted Text] > I am a newbie especially when using system restore. > Anyway, I can never get system restore to work in xp. > I downloaded the 8.1.3 version of adobe reader and after the program was > installed, the computer would not work right. > I had read a post about system restore and the solution was to put the > computer in safe mode. > I did that and system restore worked great. > No adobe icon on the desktop and I am using Adobe reader 8.1.2. > I checked the microsoft website and i can't find anything about using system > restore in the safe mode. > Can you use sytem restore without using the safe mode? > Thanks > >
