[Magdalen] Kicking and Screaming.

I wrote two ways you can revert:

Get into your own windows help files and find the instructions how to
revert.

Google for instructions.

The first is preferable, but you have to open the help file and then you
need to plug in terms such as revert. It will then make numerous
suggestions pages in help. You will see titles of the articles, and I think
they are pretty self-explanatory.

If all else fails, or you just don't want to do this yourself, get to a
computer service such as Best Buy's Computer Geeks.  They will do that for
you, do it correctly, and you will pay them for their time, and it will be
done right. Or you get them to do it again til it is.
