How can I get my computer back to factory settings?
my computer is slow and I want to restore it back to factory settings, so this has nothing about it except the important things, like when you get everything first... does anyone know how to do this?
Note that if you save all the important things, it will be lost after the reset.
After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.
Your laptop is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition
.
This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

How can I configure my laptop back to factory settings?
I'm really sick of my 2008 Dell Inspiron being so slow, whenever I play minecraft... It is not intended to be a portable game, but that's all I have. I want to know how to put my computer laptop back to factory settings, like when you start it for the first time, straight out of the box. In addition, I did not drive when I bought over 5 years ago, do not judge me. Help please!
Hello Andy.L.C
No one will judge you.
Your PC must have a hidden partition which contains an image of the Windows operating system.
Take a look at this link (especially step 3 "restore the software from the computer to the original state")
I hope this will help you restore your PC to factory conditions.

Hi all
I lived like many of the fixes suggested on the forum as possible so feel I have this post as a new question. I have no sound on my computer. I think it was an accidental deletion of key files during uninstallation of some programs. In any case, the problem of double wammy is than I:- Don't have my XP installation disk anymore because it was lost long ago, and
- I do not have the sndvol32.exe file in the system32/dllcache folder so it cannot stick in the system 32 folder
So, how can I get my sound back!My laptop really old and it is only the visible part of the iceberg in the resulting sound problems, but I cannot afford a new computer at the moment, so any help is greatly appreciated!Thank youhttp://support.Microsoft.com/kb/319095
This article will show you how to install sndvol32.exe from the CD.
Since you don't have one you can borrow one from someone.
You can also copy the file from another computer.
Since you have an iceberg under this issue, why not try to install the clone from the link below.
http://download.CNET.com/MiniMixer/3000-2169_4-10074198.html
XP OS CD are very cheap now so maybe you should buy one and do a clean install instead of crop to the iceberg and save you headaches.

Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.
How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.
I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:
Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive. SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max. Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.
Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive). To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp. For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc
There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
http://safelyremove.com/index.html Among other features:The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

How can I keep my computer back to 'place' after that I put it manually using the 'list '?
How can I keep my computer back to 'place' after that I put it manually using 'list '. There must be a master setting, but I was not able to understand it yet. I have to do this every time I open a file.
I checked "remember to display each file settings" under "Tools - Folder Options," but it does no good.

Hey, Wesley!
I tried some time ago, and it will do no good. I returned periodically to ensure that it was not unchecked, but he didn't.
Someone posted a response that a registry key has been corrupted and offered instructions on how to fix it. I ran utility troubleshooting, but that has not helped and was about to try to change the registry, but the message seems to have disappeared.
I tried to reinstall Windows on Windows, but the installation stalled after starting the system successfully. He must have done something right, because each window remains now as I put it, so my problem seems to have disappeared.
Thanks for your interest. If someone asked me, I would recommend refreshing Windows to solve the problem.
Best,
Bob

How can I get my computer Vista program to say "you have a message?
How can I get my computer vista email to say "you have a message?
Its depends on your email program. If you are using software such as Microsoft Office Outlook e-mail, then when you have received a new email it will notify you.
For webamil, you could connect to your email address, and then drag the window and PIN to the taskbar to alert you to new e-mail.
