How can I reset my desktop computer pc dell to factory settings to restore my sounds & play dvd & cd?
The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows.
If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).
Usually, just by pressing F11 continuously during the computer startup to display a boot menu offering the option you need.
Restore the computer provided you plant with installation disks:
Dell - creation of your system with Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 recovery disks:
Dell - application installation disc:

I found that I have a virus on my pc. I tried to use recovery tools in the OS partition to reset the computer to factory settings. It keeps giving me an error: access to \Tools\dp.sc was denied, I tried to run as administrator, but still will not work. I tried once again in safe mode, it always gives me an error, but without the sentence or an error number. It just says ERROR. Is there another way to try a factory reset? I have the DVD of reinstalling OS to Vista 32 BIT SP1, but my computer has been upgraded with SP2. Any suggestions?

HP photosmart c4780: How can I reset my printer hp photosmart c4780 to factory settings?
Sometimes the printer menu back went to a foreign language, don't know why was idling. Was trying to solve the problem on mine so I could still print via a usb cable. Finally downloaded a manual on the printer and page 59 he gave me instructions to open the language menu but continues to interfere printer is trying to print something, nothing in the printer there. and instructions say to press down left and middle left button in order, but they are not enabled when I try the steps instead, he's going to print something. Friend thought was of Russian language, I don't know. I finally uninstall printer help to uninstall on my macbook and used my factory disc to reinstall the printer. Get information then reinstall that later installed in and now am unable to use the printer with the macbook at all. I downloaded the latest version and reinstalled but no help. This printer is ready for the garbage?
schief81,
I think that you are on the right track. The buttons on the left do not become activated when you tap the top right? If this is the case, then your printer has a serious problem and I am unsure of what you can do about it.

I only am not computer savvy very please tell me how to clean my desk I have icons in every sense that I am not keed.
Simply RIGHT click on each icon/shortcut on the desktop > click on delete.
Note: Make sure that the 'icons' are NOT real files you store it somehow on the desktop. (Some people who do).
If you do not have some people, move them to a folder on your computer.Unwanted shortcuts can be deleted that I describe above.
Addition of...
The shortcuts of all Celine be grouped carefully in a section. You don't have to let them "in all directions".Just left click on a shortcut and HOLD > then drag it to the desired location.

How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive? Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.
Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it. I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.Any ideas?Thank you.Hello
