You can use system restore to restore your computer to an earlier time. But you can do that by two ways :
1. using windows DVD or USB
2. From within windows
Please answer the questions above to enable me answer your query.

I installed Windows 8. My system turn on automatically when mouse is moved. How do I disable this.
Hello,
Go to device manager in Control panel ( all items )
locate Mice and other pointing devices ->your mouse-> right click -> properties -> power management -> uncheck the checkbox ” Allow this Device to wake this computer ” -> OK
Now, go to BIOS by pressing F2 or DEL or F10 ( refer the onscreen key at start up ) -> go to power management ( or any option that looks like it ) -> there should be an option that would look like something to do with your mouse & waking up / starting your computer. Disable it.
If you might need any assistance / clarification please let me know.
