Recovering your system
To recover your system:
1. Perform minor fixes.
If only one or two items of software or hardware have stopped working
correctly, the problem may be solved by reinstalling the software or the
device drivers.
To reinstall software and drivers that were pre-installed at the factory, see
"Reinstalling drivers and applications" on page 28
.
For instructions on reinstalling software and drivers that were not pre-
installed, see that product’s documentation or support Web site.
2. Revert to a previous system condition.
If reinstalling software or drivers does not help, then the problem may be
solved by returning your system to a previous state when everything was
working correctly.
