Can you back up to a system restore point?  You could try this, if you have WinXP or WinMe.\n----------------------\nSorry that wasn't the silver bullet. From a distance, I can't think of anything else you should try.

Try this:-\n\n1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. \n2. Click the System Restore tab. \n3. Click to clear the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK.

okay you first need to format your drive erasing everything off of it. Then restore it from a CD. I would recommend using a program like Symantec Live State Recovery and make a base backup of it after you have say your basic progs installed or things you're always going to want. It will basically make an image of your HD and you will be able to backup from that.

Hi,\n\nAt http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1747010,00.asp\nyou have a guide for doing this. \n\nBelow is the first page. Visit the above link and you will see the complete guide. Visit the link for the complete guide.It is from PC Mag. and a good source of info.\n__________________________________________________\nBuild an XP-SP2 Recovery Disc \n01.12.05 \n \n \nIf you have questions about this article, see the answers to some common questions here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/pcmag. \n  Total posts: 88  \n  \n\nBy David A. Karp  \nOdds are your PC came with a recovery disc, a CD with all the programs and drivers that were installed on its hard drive when it was new. The odds are also that you have absolutely no idea where that disc is.\n\nThe good news is that it probably doesn't matter. First, the recovery discs provided by most PC manufacturers are designed for a single purpose: to restore your computer to the state it was in when you bought it. This process typically involves wiping your hard drive clean and then reinstalling Microsoft Windows and the handful of programs originally included with your PC. Unless you're preparing the whole kit and caboodle to sell on eBay, this is probably not something you'll ever need.\n\n\nSecond, the hardware drivers on your recovery CD are probably out of date, either made obsolete by newer and better versions available online, or simply irrelevant because of new hardware you've installed.\n\nSo, instead of fretting about the old recovery CD, why not take a few minutes and make one of your own?\n\n*** see site for the rest

System Restore might work. I've never used it myself, but for XP, it can be found under the Start --> programs --> Accessories --> System Tools menu, and it's "wizard" based, so hopefully it's not *too* dangerous. :-) Bear in mind, though, that if you restore to an earlier state, you run the risk of losing anything else you've installed since then.\n\nAnother possible option: Did your computer come with a "restore" CD? Like, instead of a proper Windows CD, a lot of vendors give you a CD that will return your computer to the original factory configuration. You don't actually want to *do* that in this case, BUT, if your DVD decoder app was part of your PC's orginal configuration, it's *possible* that the CD might allow you to reinstall the individual application.

Same. System restore is a function of the windows operating system...not the pc type or style

You should go to the manufacturer's site, there might be instructions there.Some computers will have a partition on the hard drive that you can restore from.System restore can also work .I would get on their case for that disk though.Do you have the manual ?If not ,usually it can be downloaded.Good luck Jessie!

If you are using windows XP like most people.\n\ngo to \nPrograms -> Accessories -> System tools -> System Restore\n\nWindows will guide you from there

Sometimes system restore is more of a pain than it is worth. There are several ways, but the easiest is to do a search for the document or program you want. If that does not work, I would do another restore to another time. Another way is to go to mycomputer and click on the drive and search through to the folder you want.\n Hope that helps.

Go to VIEWS and then toolbars, and allow for standard buttons. You do this directly on your folder window.\n\nSystem restore will allow you reset your PC to 3 days ago. Go to START then programs, then go to Accessories, then System Tools, and there is a system restore option in there.

If you use XP system restore is the way to go.

The first thing you wanna do is copy onto disk all of your important files.  Then use the original system disks that came with your computer, place them in your CD drive and it walk you through reformatting and reinstalling your operating system

How about plugging the old  hard disk into the new PC. Offcourse this may not be desirable if you have a far upgraded & new hard drive.\n\nI have used connected data protector. It restores everthing, but I did not restore applications.\n\nAnd it does allow you to select directory by directory\n\nBut a suggestion. try to re-install the software if possible. Sometimes a restored software may not work. \n\nI do not know the cost for a single user though
