    Your best bet is to make sure that you have your game disks recovery and all the license keys for programs installed once you have received your laptop.

    Buy a replacement hard drive and install it. If you do not know how, then it done by a PC shop.

  • How can I reset Thunderbird so that the settings are the same as when it was first installed?

    I seem to have changed by mistake the parameters for accounts with several are no longer displayed in the way which was familiar to me.

    I struggle to describe, but although the meter displays several emails of thousands, they were not displayed unless, somehow I have manged to get the separate box the rest accounts - it is a very poor description of the problem, I hope that someone will tell me how to return things to the original default settings I had several years ago and before many updates.

    Return to in a default mail client is not a good thing... no not configured e-mail account... they were not part of the default value.

    While such an option is to hand for those who don't know and don't want to know it is not really viable for email clients where everyone has an opinion of what is somewhat critical of information don't not to get lost.

  • How can I reset my laptop to DVD factory State?

    Hi, I recently bought a Levono Thinkpad W530 and recovery media creation/test gives me a world of hurt.

    I really wish they had just sent me a recovery DVD (s) with the laptop, as Fujitsu made when I bought my laptop from them years ago.

    in any case, I saw that there was no way to recovery with the laptop, but then when I started, I spotted the partition to "restore" and discovered by clicking on it that it would create recovery media.

    Brilliant, I thought... This means I can create recovery 2-3 media in the case first case... Yes, it was a little naïve.

    So anyway, I made my first (and as I discovered later, only) backup of factory restore using some recordable DVD at low price (Hey, they must wrote that you could only do one somewhere in prints) and now, I don't know which worked.

    I mean, he tried to write to DVD 4 and 1 of them turned out not to be false (I have DVD0, DVD1 and DVD2, don't know if it was supposed to be a DVD3 or DVD to boot... I searched but did not find the answer).

    I explored most of the BIOS menu and has not found a way to restore the system to factory since the DVD State (I tried all 3, I hope I'm not out 1).

    I managed to do a cover of the plant, but only using the recovery disk partition hard (he doesn't use any DVD).

    Could someone let me know how you get to factory of a DVD recovery state so that I can determine if my recovery DVDs work?

    And assuming that recovery will not work the DVD I did, it means I'm stuck without a recovery media (which means that if the hard drive is corrupted somehow, here is Windows 7 Professional)?

    Is it possible I can get Levono to send me a recovery disk or reset my recovery partition so that I can try again to make a backup of recovery on a more robust support?

    And if it's the latter, that means I have to send my laptop in China, to pay for shipping and wait a month to get it back ?

    Needless to say, I feel very frustrated right now.

    Good day and welcome to the community.

    New machines, I had much luck calling Service and asking a recovery factory set. So far, I think because I called in the first week or 2 to get the machine, I did have to pay for all. Others indicate that they have been charged a tax, though, so YMMV. To be clear, I also do my a copy allowed recovery of the value of the mechanism on the disc.

    In case you haven't, here are the details of the Service:

    Country or region Product Language Phone number Opening hours
    Canada THINK brand products English, French 1-800-565-3344 24 hours/day
    7 days a week

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    You cannot use the system back restore more than you have Restore Points. The only one
    Another option would be to return the system to its out of the box, as it was when
    you received. So, it would be better reset your e-mail settings and check with
    the support of your email provider.

  • I can't restore the laptop to factory settings

    Hi guys, I recently received a large number of viruses on my Toshiba laptop and I pretty much cant get on the desktop because of it, so I decided to repair my laptop via records, but when I get this day with him, it gives me this error message
    "the file nvrd32.sys is not found."

    I did a lot of research on googled around and haven't found a solution so im posting this thread.

    I have a Nvidia Quadro GFX card if that counts for anything.

    I have 2 drives labeled "Drivers" and "XP SP2". I get SP2 on the laptop and I still get the same message, can someone help out me?

    Don't know what's this file, it could be a virus trying to spread.

    When Windows is virus and the operating system is damaged, it will never be the same.

    So your best option would be to recover your data and run the recovery of your recovery disks to restore Windows back to its factory condition.

    If you need a good tool to scan of viruses and spyware, install Avira and Spybot. (plus they are free!)

    I have a hidden player called drive X, it is also the boot drive, the only way I can access this hard drive is by selecting the

    also repair option when installing my software, this disk is write protected. Don't know, I installed a new hard drive and drive X

    rest, I installed new memory chips and still have the X drive, I don't know where else to look, where this information

    can be stored.

    I try Dariks boot and nuke, kill the drive, tried to format it, tried to remove all across BACK, once I turn the system

    stop and restart, all the information is back.

    also the files and folders have a tendacy auto recover, when deleting files and folders through BACK I get access denied much, have

    tried using Calc to support, but it don't work, suggestions for anyone who would be appreciated, I'm at the point where I am

    ready to pull my hair.

    Looking for programs or on back of syntax remove items from memory, I know that LH high load is used to put programs in upper memory

    blocks, but how do get out you? you are looking for a way to defeat the drive is write-protected, so that I can remove that darn pesty X drive.

  • How can I restore my computer to factory settings so that I can give it with peace of mind about my personal information?

    I would only delete personal files.

    Hello

    Remove only the personal folders is not the way to do

    Everyone can recover with the software of data recovery and your user account name, parameters, etc rest...

    And if everyone would recommend "Dban"; who will even remove any recovery partition (which if necessary for purposes of relocation), because it deletes (as its default action) information on any hard disk that it finds in your computer and you need to reinstall the operating system.

    The way to do what you want to do is to reinstall the operating system that your header request initially (but remember the only way to know that your data is never recoverable is to physically destroy the hard drive!).

    Here are the various ways to reinstall the operating system:

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks to reinstall from.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (this is why I did not recommend the use of Dban).

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.
