Windows XP Restore Points

[Frank Steinberg]

Windows XP automatically creates restore points when new
software is installed. Is this restore point a picture of
the configuration settings before the installation or
after. In other words, if the installation has a negative
effect on the computer performance should I go back to
this restore point or something earlier.

Thanks,
Frank

The restore point is before the installation.
