Windows Me System Restore Update

This update resolves a recently identified issue with the System Restore feature of Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), and is discussed in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q290700. Download now to ensure that System Restore functions correctly.

This update resolves an issue with the System Restore date-stamping functionality that may cause System Restore to date-stamp snapshots that are taken after September 8, 2001 incorrectly. This can prevent System Restore from locating these snapshots and can cause the system restore process to fail.

Note Snapshots that are taken before September 8, 2001 are not affected by this issue.

System Restore is a feature of Microsoft Windows Me that allows you to return your computer to a past operating state. It operates by creating a small image or "snapshot" of your system at set intervals called "restore points" and prior to key events, such as software installations. Each snapshot is compressed and cataloged in your system by date. If you need to return your system to a previous restore point, System Restore uses the date-stamp to find the correct image to restore. If you encounter errors as a result of recently installed software or device drivers, System Restore can return your system to the condition it was in prior to the software or driver installation.
