A most reliable and speedy way to recover Windows XP from a crash is by way of the System Restore utility feature. It has easy to follow, step-by-step guides that lead you to a selection of available restore points.

You can then zero in on the timeframe of the malfunction and get the computer back in a stable condition before the crash occurred.
