Restore Your System to an Earlier Date

• 1). Click the "Start" button and click "All Programs."
  
  
• 2). Click "Accessories" and click "System Tools." Click "System Restore." This will launch Windows Vista's "System Restore" feature.
  
  
• 3). Select a restore point. Windows gives you the option to choose a recommended restore point, or a restore point of your preference. It is best to choose your own restore point because it will give you more options. Click "Next" to proceed. A list of restore points will appear. Click "Show More Restore Points" to display older restore points.
  
  
• 4). Select a restore point that was created before Windows installed the malfunctioning update. Windows gives you a description of each restore point in the "Description" column. Click "Next" to proceed.
  
  
• 5). Click "Finish" to restore your system back to an earlier time.
