Backing up your system configuration
When you add software applications or devices to your computer, the
installation process can change the computer registry and configura-
tion.
If your computer does not work properly after you add applications or
devices, you need to restore the previous configuration.
You can use ConfigSafe (for Windows 98 and Windows 2000) or
System Restore (for Windows Millenium Edition) to save the config-
uration before you make changes. Then if something goes wrong,
use ConfigSafe or System Restore to restore the system registry and
configuration files.
For Windows 98 or Windows 2000:
To capture a snapshot of your system configuration with ConfigSafe:
1. Click Start.
2. Move the cursor to Programs, ConfigSafe, and then
ConfigSafe.
3. Double-click ConfigSafe.
4. Click the camera icon.
5. Type a name for the snapshot. For example, before installing a
word processor, you might type, "Before installing word
processor."
6. Click OK.
7. After a few moments, the main ConfigSafe window will return.
The snapshot is complete.
If you need to restore a configuration snapshot, open ConfigSafe and
follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows Millenium Edition:
