Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

Choose option to Restore. Restore points (dates) will be high lighted, choose the one you want to restore.

PS: You can also create a manual restore point with the other option. Good thing to do before installing any new hardware / software !

Thanks
It worked !!!
