Accessing System Restore in Windows XP -Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore It can be used to take the computer to a previous state where the system was working perfectly. It is very helpful if your System drivers have become corrupt. It works on 'All or Nothing' approach, i.e. it either restores completely or doesn't restore anything at all.
