To Restore the Windows 7 System, follow these steps:

1. Choose Start >> Control Panel >> Back Up Your Computer (under System and Security).

2. In the Back Up and Restore window, click the Recovery Control Panel link. In the Recovery window click the Open System Restore button.

3. The System Restore feature shows a progress dialog box as it starts. In the resulting System Restore window, click Next.

4. In the System Restore dialog box that appears, click the system restore point to which you want to restore the computer and click the Next button.

5. A dialog box confirms that you want to run System Restore and informs you that your computer will need to restart to complete the process. Close any open files or programs, and then click Finish to proceed.

6. The system goes through a shutdown and restart sequence, and then displays a dialog box that informs you that the System Restore has occurred.

7. Click OK to close it.

System Restore doesn't get rid of files that you've saved. System Restore simply reverts to Windows settings as of the restore point. This can help if you or some piece of installed software made a setting that's causing some conflict in your system that makes your computer sluggish or prone to crashes. If you're concerned about what changes will happen, click the Scan for Affected Programs button.
