Computer to give cleanup!

If I "scrub" my computer and it give the next person will be able to use it? He will always have the operating system on it? Windows XP

Reinstall XP to factory settings:

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s XP set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    I want to restore my computer Windows XP Dell to its factory settings in order to give to my parents. I'm not not as much concerned about safety with my old files that I'm computer being simplified and works well, because there was a lot of modules downloaded over the years and it works more smoothly.

    Windows XP Service Pack 3

    Dell Dimension

    Thank you all for your advice. For the record, my size is a 2400, and I have the original full version of XP with Service Pack 1a.

    After trying to solve this problem with my knowledge limited and before all your very helpful responses, I decided to go on the road to uninstall as much as possible use Revo Uninstaller. Given that I've initially was looking for a method of time-saving security since I gave the computer a member of the family, to the point where I investigate buying a new CD player internal and all other solutions, it began to look like an option far less time. If my family member decides that always, he would like to make a fresh start but, we look at the above.

    Thank you very much for your detailed responses. I much appreciate and will refer to them if needed in the future. I'm sorry I'm not able to try them, but I was on a time crunch to get the old computer in working condition for the Member of my family and cost/time of what solutions were looking like became problematic.

    Thanks again!

  • Try to install Windows 8 on an empty Asus 32 bit laptop computer but gives error: 0xc0000017

    So I have a laptop Asus 32 bit empty with no system on it and nor anything on the hard drive. Well, I tried to install Windows 8 on a DVD on the subject. Then I go to the "context menu" and start the dvd/cd player and it loads normally until it gives this error:

    'RECOVERY '

    Your PC needs to be repaired

    "Your operating system could not be loaded because the critical system driver is missing or contains errors.

    File:/Windows/system32/drivers/Tcpip.sys

    Error: 0xc0000017

    You will need to use tools of recovery on your installation media. If you do not have any media (such as a disc or USB device) please contact your system administrator or the computer manufacturer. »

    So what he says and I already tried to install other Windows operating systems, but it gives the same error or it does not read the dvd disc at all!

    Any help? Thanks :)

    Hello Darnell,

    • Which type of installation (upgrade, custom or Clean) you want to make?

    Tcpip.sys is a SYS file type associated with April 2011 security release ISO Image developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. The latest known version of Tcpip.sys is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows.

    SYS file errors are usually caused by a faulty hardware or damaged device driver files. Because of the importance of Tcpip.sys in April 2011 release ISO Image and other Windows security feature works, corruption or damage to this file can create criticism of the system errors in the form of a "blue screen of death" (BSOD). Please see "Causes errors of Tcpip.sys" below for more information.

    The majority of the tcpip.sys errors that you encounter will be mistakes of 'blue screen of death' (also known as a "BSOD" or "STOP error")

    Since there is nothing on the disk, you can try to create the installation media and create a USB bootable flash drive. Then try to clean install of Windows 8.

    If this does not work also, you can contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Photosmart B110a: Photosmart B110a - "analysis of the computer" gives an error

    Because of this problem, I just reinstalled;

    HP Photosmart full feature software and drivers on 3 August 2015 14.8.0

    (PS_AIO_07_B110_USW_Full_Win_WW_140_408 - 5.exe)

    The installation went well and the software easily found the printer on my wireless network.

    I can print without problem.

    However,.

    If I go to the printer (on the touch screen), select "Scan" and then "Scan to computer" it gives an error.

    Now, I have discovered first - through the HP solutions Center - I have to 'Add' types of scanning options for the "Scan to computer" - menu of the printer.

    So I added "Document in PDF format" to the touch menu screen of the printer.

    (I still have HP Solution Center running, in which case it must be somehow 'catch' the files analyzed, sent by the printer)

    However, the printer still won't scan anything (instignated of the printer)

    (I already rebooted the printer, my computer, and even my router)

    Another problem is that the printer keeps forgetting the types of scanning options that I added to its menu.

    UPDATE:
    I've updated that the firmware of the printer still does not work

    UPDATE:
    I uninstalled from the computer restarted the computer everything HP and installed the full software from HP again.

    Still does not work...

    Hahaha,

    I have to anticipate this.

    Here again Support HP with their standard super tips ' uninstall... install again.

    If you read my post, you could see I'm already dealing with the latest version of the software and it works on a fresh windows install ultra 10.

    But never mind HP support.

    I understood the effing problem myself.

    I installed the latest version of the software on a netbook which has windows 10 on it, and 'scan as' works.

    On this netbook, I noticed that every time you start, there is a little program called HP Digital Imaging Monitor.

    THIS program has no boot on my desktop, the source of the problems.

    Solution:

    Start the Task Manager, select the tab start and Select HP Digital Imaging Monitor.

    Please HP, test your software before discharging it in the market.

    Thus, on an edition 64-bit of Windows Enterprise 10, HP Digital Imaging Monitor somehow can prepare you to 'disabled' in the windows startup program list.

  • Computer not saying limited connectivity or none

    Hi guys.

    I have a HP Compact S5200UK Tower I just rebuilt as it is need to be introduced to a network of peer-to-peer of 6 computers at work.
    I have loaded Windows XP on this unit and now want to update your computer via windows update in preparation for this.

    After going on the HP site, I found the original drivers and installed what I thought to be the correct network driver "NVidia nForce MCP Neworking Controller". Now I find that I can't go on the internet and I get the message "this computer is limited or no connectivity that can affect your connection to other computers on the network or with the possibility to get on the net.

    The computer doesn't seem to be able to generate a correct IP address and appears to be a number 162, which is a random temp number when your computer cannot connect to the DHCP host. I tried to ping other computers and I can't. I ping my network card and got a response that indicates that it's ok and I also checked in the Device Manager and there seems not to be any problems.

    I was also on the phone to ISP for the many hours all to nothing does not because there is not a problem with their link I have a laptop via wireless connection which also works fine when I plug the Ethernet. Now run out of ideas?
