I bought a computer from a business and it came not with all drives.
Original title: I bought a computer and it came not with all drives.
I bought a computer from a business, and it was a computer on the network. It came not with all drives. Is it possible to reformat the system with out having to re - buy windows xp or office? Can I get copies of XP and Office? I still have the XP sticker with the computer.
If they don't give you the disks, all you need is a boat anchor. Ask them to give you the disks and product keys. Otherwise, you will need to buy.

Computer is very slow and IE does not work all the time.
I bought a computer from my old employeer. He is doing all sorts of things, or should I say not to do all sorts of things. It is very slow and IE does not work all the time. They have questions arise and ask if the administrator oks things and other things like that. It came with any disks. I would like to wipe, clean and load a new disc, but I don't know where to find the disc or if I can do it. Can someone please?
Hello
Proceed as follows to contribute to these two questions. You can probably buy the disks of Vista machine to system or get
the former employer to do it for you if necessary.Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK
Close and restart IE or IE with no addons
not better?
IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
"(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

N ° do not use this phone on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. It can be possible to operate on the Verizon LTE network, but they don't will not activate it on their CDMA network. Only unlocked iPhones they will activate on their network (excluding those sold specifically for Verizon) are the 6s and 6 s more.

I have a complaint on my Mac Book Pro. I bought my computer in January 2016 and it has two problems: the first is the display of the retina that has many traces of the keyboard and as many times it freezes. I have looked for help on the local Apple Store and support too, but it did not help. I would like you help me solve this problem.
Thank you.
Kelly
Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.
