System Restore?

[caduceus]

How do you restore your pc to a day (?) earlier?

I had a spring clean on my pc this afternoon and uninstalled a bunch of stuff that I had'nt used for a while and probably never will again.

Trouble is, I have got a few short clips that were captured on a digital camera that do not play now. Well they do play, but its a mass of coloured blocks whizzing around the screen.

I assume a system restore will sort this out. As the reinstall of the camera software has made NO difference.

Thanks

Could be a CODEC missing, using system restore to rollback to yesterday should sort it out. Or you can download something like the erm... K-LITE codec pack or alternativley try throwing the files at VLC.

I'd try that myself, or mplayer (which is a command line player but has an excellent codec set and very good keyboard controls once the media is playing).

Mplayer is gods gift for 32bit Linux, useful for other OS's as well.
Have to admit that I've got VLC set as the default video player on my laptop.

Sorry chaps. You've lost me. VLC? mplayer?

VideoLAN VLC Media Player

MPlayer

Both outstanding media players.
