Hi Tom,
The steps you posted are for XP, it sounds like. Try the following for
Windows7:
1. Open the start menu/ Programs, & press enter on Accessories.
2. Arrow to system tools & press enter.
3. Arrow to system restore & press enter. You're now in system restore.
4. Tab to, next, press the spacebar, & you should now be in a list of
restore points.
Since I've never done a system restore in Win7 I'm going to stop right here.
Hopefully you can take it from here or, someone will pick up where I left
off.
HTH
Take care.
Mike

I saved this reply someone had written on how to perform a system restore,
a few months ago, but when I go to “system restore” in my programs menu,
nothing comes up like this. I use win 7, i. e. 8, which is why the “restore”,
and jaws 12
1. From the system restore window, choose, restore my computer to an earlier
time, and tab to the next button, and press enter.
2. Use control home, to move to the top of the page, then arrow downuntil
you hear the current month and year. while arrowing down the page, you will
hear instructions for restoring your computer.
3. While the cursor is positioned on the current month, shift tab, and you
will be on the previous month button. if you want to see the restore points
in the previous month, press enter on the previous month button.
4. Follow the above steps to locate the month from which you want to select
a restore point from. Each time you select the previous month, or next
month,
you can use the up and down arrow keys to move thru the text on the selected
page.
5. Once you have selected the month you want, from the available choices,,
arrow down the page until you hear the day of the week you want. This is
where
a simple NotePad file of your restore points comes in handy. After making a
restore point, if you record this imformation in a file, you can refer to it
to see the exact date you want to restore to. This makes it quicker to
locate a restore point in the restore point calendar.
6. place your cursor on a day of the week, and then tab until you hear Jaws
read a restore point, and from here you can use your up and down arrow keys
to see the list of restore points on the page.
7. once you have found the restore point you want to use, tab to the next
button, and press enter.
8. Here you should get a confirmation page, so, start at the top of the
page, and arrow down to read the imformation.
9. If you are satisfied with your selection, then tab to the next button and
press enter. The system restoration should begin.
10. Do not disturb the computer during this process, your machine should
re-boot when the restore operation has been completed.
There may be a restore confirmation screen presented to you when the machine
re-boots, and you can okay this dialogue to close it, and resume using your
computer.
NOTE:
This is how the process went on the system mentioned above using one
particular version of Jaws, and does not reflect how Jaws will read the
imformation
on every system.
