You can never predict when your computer will lock, forcing you to close a program and lose unsaved changes. Many software programs build in an automatic backup, but you should not rely solely on this feature. Save your work! See “Computing tips” on page 98 for instructions. On a regular basis, back up the information stored on your internal storage drive. Use Windows® to back up files, or the entire computer, to an optical disc, or external hard disk. Here are some ways you can do this: . Use the Windows® operating system to back up files or your entire computer to an optical disc, or external hard disk. . Copy files to a rewritable external storage device. . Connect your computer to the office network and copy files to your network partition. If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits Some people use a combination of these methods, backing up all files to tape weekly and copying critical files to diskette on a daily basis. If you have installed your own programs, you should back up these programs as well as your data files. If something goes wrong that requires you to reformat your internal storage drive and start again, reloading all your programs and data files from a backup source will save time.

Your ability to solve problems will improve as you learn about how the computer and its software work together. Get familiar with all the user’s guides provided with your computer, as well as the manuals that come with the programs and devices you purchase. Your local computer store or book store sells a variety of self-help books you can use to supplement the information in the manuals. Data and system configuration backup in the Windows® operating system The Windows® operating system offers some easy-to-use features for backing up your Windows® settings and your data—documents and other important files. Take advantage of these features to protect yourself from much more difficult and time-consuming restoration procedures, and to safeguard your valuable data from loss. Saving system configuration with Restore Points The System Restore feature of the Windows® operating system quickly creates Restore Points—‘snapshots’ of your Windows® operating system configuration—and saves them for later recall. If you experience problems after installing some new hardware or software, you can easily select a previously established Control Point to ‘turn back the clock,’ restoring the Windows® operating system to the state it was in just prior to the installation. This is much easier and more effective than uninstalling the hardware or software, which often leaves behind unwanted files and settings. It is also easy to undo a Restore Point selection, if you change your mind. If Something Goes Wrong If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits Follow these steps to create a Restore Point using the System Restore utility: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. 2 Click open System Protection. The System Protection tab of the System Properties window appears. 3 Click Create. 4 In the input field, enter a name that is descriptive enough to be easily understood in the future, such as “Before installing Brand X Accounting app.” Then click Create. 5 The Windows® operating system creates the Restore Point, automatically stamps it with the current date and time, and displays a message that the restore point was successfully created. 6 Click OK. Then, at a later time, you can re-establish your Windows® configuration using the saved Restore Point. To do this: 1 Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. 2 Click Next. 3 A list of previously created Restore Points displays, showing the timestamp and description of each Restore Point. NOTE This list may contain Restore Points that you did not create. Restore Points labeled System Checkpoint were automatically created by the Windows® operating system. Other Restore Points may have been created automatically by applications when they were installed. 4 Select the Restore Point you want to use, and then click Next. The utility displays the timestamp and de...
