to get to the system restore for sure ..get to the control panel ... be sure it is switched on category view...and than click the maintenance and performance...in this moment in the left side task bar you will have the initiation of the system restore......BUT!
if the system was turned off until now..you will not have any previous point to get back to ..so ..what you have to do is turn in on and you will have a point from now on...and a point will be made each time you install or uninstall anything ..
you can also turn the system on ...by right click on my computer icon...choose system restore...and uncheck the case that says turn off he system restore..I actually believe it will be possible to turn it on from both ways..
Have a nice day ..and dont forget to rate ...!
