System Restore

Hello,

I am having a problem with a program called "Configsafe". It is a program
that does the exact same thing as Windows system restore. I need to
uninstall Configsafe. I wanted to first make sure that the program has
absolutely nothing to to do with and will in no way effect the Windows system
restore if I uninstall it.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

After uninstalling Configsafe, test System Restore.

Create a new restore point named TEST.

Create a new shortcut on the desktop and point it to My Computer or any
other file of your choice and name it TEST.

Now restore to the Test restore point.

The system will now reboot, and you will receive a message if the restore
was successful, and the Test shortcut on the desktop will be gone.

Post back with the results.

I do not want to risk trying this. If uninstalling Configsafe damagesSystem
Restore, how can I restore it back if System Restore does not work?

The only solution to my problem is purchasing the an upgrade of Configsafe
which I do not want to do. I am getting an annoying Windows error message
related to Config Safe at Startup. I never use the program either.

Is there a reason why you think uninstalling Configsafe will case a problem?
