System Restore has saved me on numerous occasions. I usually set a restore point before I donanything that I think may hose my system. So far, so good. I have recently started using a program called "RegCure" to find and fix errors. It seems to work very well and has high marks from 3rd party reviewers.. Worth a look www.regcure.com

tinyvillager; Though I have tried to use it many times (because I installed so many different programs and did not understand how to do a proper backup) System Restore has never worked for me; not even once! Today I use TotalUninstall.
If it is important to you to clean your registry I will dare to recommend the FREE / $15 Eusing Registry Cleaner because it has proven itself to be gentle and safe to run - so safe that "we" are using it in DC member wreckedcarzz's CompuTech EasyInstall:
OK, here it is; EasyInstall.exe-wreckedcarzz (July 27, 2007, 11:10 AM)

Edit: it is of course also the one I use myself

I have used XP's system restore several times usually after some software installation messes things up quite badly. I was rather amazed that it worked but most relieved that it did work!
wraith808:
Same here. System restore has saved my bacon too many times to count! Even with backups, it's still a pain to get to the exact point that you are with your system. Being able to recover without having to resort to a backup has been a lifesaver.

Adobe acrobat 8 was until shortly not compatible with vista, vista would only boot in safe mode. my printer devices were borked. With safe mode i restored vista and all has worked fine since.
