You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

This is one way. But it is necessary to take this action only in small steps.. Not at all at once as it may cause problems. \nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good.

So you're trying to use the XP System Restore feature but get the message: "Cannot restore the computer to an earlier restore point, no changes have been made to your computer". Well, I can't tell you how to get your old restore points back, but I can tell you how to fix this problem so you can get them in the future.\n\nRight click My Computer, choose "Properties" then click on "System Restore" tab.\n\nPut a check in the box for "Disable Restore on all drives". Click OK, then Reboot your PC.\n\nAfter you reboot, go back to the System Restore tab and uncheck the box. Click OK.\n\nNext, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools then click "System Restore". Choose "Create a Restore Point" and give it a name like "Reset" as a reminder.\n\nTry to restore using the new point and it should work properly.

Assuming it is Windows XP, run the system restore utility (Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore).  Use the calendar and select a date prior to the time the problem started. This will put the computer back to the state it was in on that date. Just be aware that if you have installed any software or changed any settings on the computer since then, they may get lost.

try putting that link into "the way-back-when machine" on http://www.archive.org - it archives websites (it can be a little slow).

The only problem that you can encounter when going back from XP to 98 is Hard Drive partition type management., if you have windows xp installed on a NTFS HARDDRIVE im sorry to say but you have to re-partition your harddrive back to a FAT32 or FAT16 type.  First you have to back up ALL your WINDOWS XP DRIVERS, FILES, and SOFTWARE PROGRAMS.   Provided you have done all this things you have to BOOT from your WINDOWS 98 CD, then re-partition the hardisk (if you have NTFS installed), then format the hardrive for a clean install. With your type of computer its obvious that processor speed will be the issue when it comes to XP.  A slower based processor such as a PII 300mhz will go sluggish on you. On the other hand new software for Windows 98 will be scarce cuz it's software lifecycle has already diminished.  For example OFFICE 2003, AGE OF EMPIRES 3 wont run on windows 98.

Your question is not clear\nbut assuming you have XP,\nwhen you have registered, system automatically makes a restore\npoint,\njust go to:\nstart menu > program files > system tools > system restore \nand choose " Restore to an earlier time "\nit shows you a time table which you can choose your restoration\ntime.\nBeware that you will lose your recent installed programs but your\ncopied data like mp3s,pictures and so on will not change.

Try using system restore. Make sure that all programs are closed before continuing. To use system restore, go to start->help and support. under "pick a task" click on "undo changes to your computer with system restore." The system restore wizard will come up. Make sure "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is selected and click "next." using the calender, select the day you want. once a day is selected you will see a list of restore points in the right box. some days do not have any points, so find one that does. then select a point in the right box and click "next" your computer will restart and when it is rebooted, you will have the same settings as the day you choose to go back to. your files in "my documents" will not be affected by system restore.
