Can't Restore earlier Drive C files on Win 7
I need to restore an earlier version of Drive C files, but the Restore button that starts the Restore Wizard is not activated. Is there anything else I can do?

Is the System Restore disabled? If yes then you will not be able to restore since then there is no backup.
Did you have shadow copy enabled? If yes, you may be able to just right click on drive C then choose a previous version of the file.

How do I turn System Restore on? There are restore files created and listed. In this instance, a restore file was available for the previous day. I could open it, but the Restore button was not active.
What is a shadow copy? If I choose it what do I do with it?
Sorry for the lack of understand, but I never had problems with restore before.
