How can I reset my computer to the way it was the day I got it?

How can I reboot my computer to the way it was the day I got it?

Hello

Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

they do it for a nominal cost of $

also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

Ask them of the exact key sequence

or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

they contain all versions of vista

This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How can I reset my R7000 in the State in which I out took it of the box?

    How can I reset my R7000 in the State in which I out took it of the box? Why am I asking? The latest version of the firmware has destroyed the connectivity and performance of my router. I'll have to deal with the devices that can not connect, devices that fall, extremely poor performance, etc. It's just a disaster.

    I've been with Netgear 5-6 years and had to do something last night, I have never had to do before - I had to go back to an earlier version of the firmware. Honestly, very little worked well. The previous version of the software has a few hiccups here and there, but the new version is just a nightmare.

    Now that I have applied even if an earlier version of the firmware, I can still see some of the latest options which were not there before. I have taken note that the firmware was now the prior publication, but the GUI is still the current version.

    Just to give a time frame on my Nexus 5 running 802.11ac, prior to the current version, I could peg 90Mbps +. Since the new version, the best I can do standing right next to the router is 24Mpbs +. Even after the restoration of the previous firmware, the speed is always the same.

    So, I want to return the router to the shape that when I took it out of the box, apply the previous firmware and reset up if necessary. I want to just my router back prior to the most recent release that destroyed. Once again, that the release had a few hiccups, but it was still usable.

    The 30-30-30 reset method works on most routers out there, but not on the R7000...
    The correct way to reset your R7000 at the exit of the State of the box is...

    Download the original version of Netgear R7000 Support HP http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/R7000(Firmware Version 1.0.0.96)

    Reset and flash back of any Stockfirmware on the original Stockfirmware:

    Power on the router
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **
    connect to 192.168.1.1
    Flash the original FW
    now that the router restarts
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **

    * After each reboot, the first login on StockFW screen should show something like "refresh the settings or the settings of loading.

    Now, it's as out of the Box.

    Reset and flash back to any DD - WRT FW to Stockfirmware initial:

    Power on the router
    Wait a few seconds
    Telnet to the router
    Run the commands:
    'clear the NVRAM '.
    'reboot '.
    Wait a few seconds
    connect to 192.168.1.1
    Flash the original Stockfirmware through the Administration tab (if the upgrade fails and the site is not available, try another browser such as Firefox, chrome, safari)
    now that the router restarts
    Wait a few seconds
    Press Reset for 5-8 seconds max! **

    * After each reboot, the first login on StockFW screen should show something like "refresh the settings or the settings of loading.

    Now, it's as out of the Box.

    I have reflashed several R7000 to initial Stockfirmware as the last FW with Beamforming was not stable enough after several days/weeks testing... The FW showed massive connection drops after 24 hours and only a reboot of the router fixed it (tested on 3 x R7000)

    The connection has dropped from 1300 to 66-256 after several hours...-. -.

    Now I'm waiting a new FW version with corrections of Wifi of Netgear.

  • How can I reset my computer?

    My cousin gave me a computer used windows 7 and I want to reset, but isn't the right disc

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to 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 LG, 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.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  • HP Envy 7640: How can I remove a computer from the list "Scan to" on HP Envy 7640?

    I have a computer on my list of "scan to" on my HP Envy 7640, which is no longer in use.  How can I remove the computer name in the list?

    With the help of Apple / Mac OS X Yosemite

    Thank you!

    I can't help but wonder if the computer is still on the same network as the printer. Even if you have no more than the computer, you may give it to someone else who uses the same network as you? I think it's weird that the printer is always to see the computer. If this computer and the printer are not on the same network, perhaps to restore the printer to the factory settings would help. To do this test, please complete the following steps;

    1. On the front panel of the printer, scroll down to the second main menu screen by sliding your finger to the right of the screen to the left
    2. Choose settings, or Setup
    3. Select printer maintenance
    4. Go to restoration
    5. Choose both restore factory default settings

    Once this operation is completed, you will need to reconfigure the printer to your wireless network. Please let me know if this is the case. Thank you.
