Windows Forum / Windows 95 / February 2004Can't start Windows 95
Not sure of the technical term, but I need to to restore my computer back to a previous date. I have done so before but cannot remember what I need to type at the DOS prompt. Is it something like system restore? There is no system restore in Win95. If you have done something similar before, then you may have had some third party program to do it. ...Alan  SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion, "Sarah" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Not sure of the technical term, but I need to to restore >my computer back to a previous date.

I've read that each time Windows 95 starts, it makes one backup of the registry so if that backup is good you could use that. You should be able to find articles on backing up and restoring the registry that will tell you how to do this at the DOS prompt and what the names of the two backup files are. > >Not sure of the technical term, but I need to to restore > >my computer back to a previous date.

Registry -------- SYSTEM.DAT USER.DAT Registry Backup ---------------- SYSTEM.DA0 USER.DA0 I also recommend backing up the critical VMM32.VXD Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 132332 How to Back Up the Registry in Microsoft Windows 95 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;132332 >> >Not sure of the technical term, but I need to to restore >> >my computer back to a previous date.
