The System Restore feature is not the proper vehicle to use to return the system
to its original baseline configuration.

If you have an OEM system, such as Dell, HP, Compaq, etc., they usually supply
some method for this type of restoration.

If you post back with a more detailed description of your system, e.g., laptop,
desktop, brand, model number, etc., someone should be able to advise you of the
method required.
