-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Free software for Burning Movies?

Well I was wrong, I have system restore configured to 
automatically make a restore point.  The one it wants to
restore 
was today Sunday at 10:58 AM --  I used it but the only
trouble 
is, this was after the patch was downloaded and installed.

How do I get to a previous restore point (i.e., like
yesterday)? 
Never needed to use this before so the reason I am asking. 
Went 
to Help and Support but apparently I'm not asking the way it
can 
answer (LOL).

I thought of system restore but the last one was awhile ago
and
I don't want to lose the data (movies, games, etc.) I've
made in
the mean time.  Thought about using a trial version but I
don't
know which software would be good.  I went to the Nero site
because I have the light version which came with this
computer
but I didn't see where it would burn an avi file.  Mostly
talked
about converting from a camcorder, etc.

Next time I will do a system restore before I download
anything.
Taught me a very valuable lesson!!

Judith,

You could try  a system restore point before you installed
the
patch. If that doesn't work, You
could download a trail version till you get the Serif
straightend out.

When you get System Restore up... it has a calendar.  Go
backwards on that 
calendar and it will tell you when the restore points were
set.

Hi Judith,

You wrote ".....Next time I will do a system
restore...." so I am going to assume that you know how
to get into System Restore. 

OK, go to System Restore and select the option 
"Restore my computer to an earlier date" and hit
hit the "next" button at the bottom of the
window.

You will now be transported to another window
containing a calendar on which (hopefully) some on the
dates are in bold type.  These emboldened dates are
the ONLY dates that contain system restore points, so
select the one you want (remember you will not lose
any data files by doing this, it only restores certain
system files back to the date you selected). 

Having said that, I am unsure but I think that you
would lose any Microsoft security patches that had
been applied after the date you select.  Perhaps
someone can chip in here and verify that, please. If
this is the case you would need to re-apply the
missing patches, which is no big or difficult deal!

The rest is self explanatory, but don't be alarmed
when your system closes down, as this is part of the
restore process.

When it is completed you will receive a message that
advises you whether the system restore was successful
or not.  If not try another point.  

If you are successful, the next time you enter System
Restore you will notice another option...to undo the
system restore point you made.

Hope this makes sense to you, and good luck,

John Lehn
