Crash Fixer Tab

Crash Fixer Tab - use this page to restore Windows or files that you have backed up.  There is no magic in the Restore process.  It simply changes files back to the way they were before.  So if Windows crashes, Restore will change things back to the way that they were before you had problems, if you restore a backup that was produced before you had problems.

There are three steps to Restore. 

First, select which backup to restore from the "Choose Backup to Restore" dropdown box.  I know that it is confusing to some people to have several choices here, but it is to your advantage.  If one backup will not work, another one may.  It is usually best to start at the top of the list and work your way down.

If you choose "WinRescue Backups", a popup list of Backups will appear so that you can select one.  Most Recent is the Backup with the most recent date. 

Second, select which files to restore from the Backup.  Only WinRescue Backups, and Diskette will allow you to choose anything other than Windows Crash (Registry).

The four selections are Windows Crash (Registry) - this restores only the registry files, win.ini, and system.ini, Another Type of Crash (WinConfig) - this restores the items identified in the Backup Preferences as WinConfig files, Lost User Data (UserProfile) - this restores the items identified in the Backup Preferences as User Profile, and Backed up Data (Other Files) - this restores any of the items specified in the Other Files section of Backup Properties which are in the backup (including Entire Drives).

Third, press the big Restore button.  This will start the Restore process.
