My previous blog indicated I ran a System Restore SUCCESSFULLY! After 8 years on this Dell computer I finally learned how to run it without failing. The secret is to NOT run it from your working system, but only rebooting and going into a safe-like mode. To do this, follow along:
1. On your running system before rebooting, do WINDOWS KEY + I
2. Select Update & Security, then Advanced Settings
3. Select Advanced Settings from resulting screen too, then RESTART NOW
4. System will restart and come to a screen to allow you to select TROUBLESHOOT
5. One more Advanced Settings from that screen offers you an option to do a SYSTEM RESTORE
6. Do it and select the restore file desired and proceed to executing the restore
7. The system restore takes about 30-35 minutes on my old Dell PC ... grab a cold one or whatever and return for you success message. Note: I did hit a snag on one automatic checkpoint restore file taken which had a corrupt registry entry and made it unusable. But all others to date worked.
FINALLY!!!!
