Restoring when Windows XP cannot start normally
Use one of the two sections that follow to restore Windows XP to a previous time when you are unable to get to the Windows XP desktop:

Launch restore from a command prompt

Use the following steps to try to start XP in command prompt mode:

Turn on the computer.

At the first screen press the F8 key repeatedly, every half of a second, until a Windows Advanced Options menu opens.

Press the DOWN ARROW key until Safe mode-Command Prompt Only is highlighted.

Press Enter and continue through any informational screens that pop-up.

When the command window opens, type: c:.
From the C:\> prompt, type: cd c:\windows\system32\restore.

Press Enter, then type: rstrui.

Press Enter. Use System Restore as normal to return the system to a previous restore point.

Use last known good configuration

Use the following steps if you are unable to start in command prompt mode or if you want to revert to the last previous restore point:

Start the computer, and press the F8 key repeatedly when the first blue screen appears. The Windows Advanced Options menu appears.

Use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.

Use the ARROW keys to select Microsoft Windows XP (or Whistler Personal), and then press ENTER. Windows XP starts the computer using the last previous restore point.
