factory, see Reinstalling drivers and applications on page 24.
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.
For instructions, see Returning to an earlier system snapshot on
page 26.
3. Reset your operating system.
If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your
system, but keep your user information, see Returning your
system to its factory condition on page 27.
4. Reset your system to its factory condition.
If nothing else has solved the problem and you want to reset your
system to factory condition, see Returning your system to its
factory condition on page 27.

Applications Backup'. Make sure you keep the backup in a safe place
that you will remember.
