  Hello Wayne Morrison,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  Did you run a full scan with your antivirus software or malware/spyware programs?   I would do this first so that we can get this resolved, if something is found.

  I had to restore my computer to factory settings and now I can't go on the internet. I have Windows 7

  Hello

  When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..

  As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.

  Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > find your computer model number > then your operating system > locate drivers Windows 7 > download and install the desktop > copy to flash drive > transfer onto the repaired computer.

• I defragged my computer and now it tells me that my Windows Vista product key is incorrect

  What should I do?

  There is a very good reason for the non-genuine notification - your installation is not authentic!

  You have a motherboard retail, but you use an OEM_SLP key from a Dell computer. The motherboard also appears to be new - indicating once again, it is not a Dell facility.

• I would like to know how to redownload the area of map imed on my computer, I got to it before that I had to restore my computer but now he tells me he is not compapable, why is this?

  my computer won't let me download the area of map Sanchez or Captain 10 print since I had to restore my computer to magf settings and I got here before that and had no problem with it, can someone please explian why or help me solve the problem that I really love both the progams and used them both much thanks.

  Hello bashfulunicorn,

  You should check with the manufacturer of the software if it is compatible with Windows Vista. My research I found that the PrintMaster 10 is designed to work with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000, so in order to to use with Vista, you should try to install iwn compatibility mode.

  Run the program compatibility Wizard

  1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking on use an older program with this version of Windows.

  2. follow the directions in the wizard.

  See the bottom of the article for more information on this:

  Outlook express duplicate messages

  We recently had Comcast to att uverse & changed our settings in outlook express but now receive duplicate e-mail messages.  I have leave copy on the server checked so that we can access our messages from multiple computers, do not know if there is anything else that needs to be changed to avoid this problem.

  Pretty much confirms that it is outside interference. You have McAfee on both machines? Close all programs and temporarily disable McAfee on both machines. Send a short test message now.

  Norton and McAfee are two of the worst programs to use with Windows e-mail clients. They cause conflicts and must be removed in favour of a less intrusive program like NOD32, (not free), Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials, (both free). I use MSE on all my machines and it works fine.

• How to restore the computer to factory settings?

  I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Thanks for your help

  Hi Jason,

  Since you did a factory restore, you must get in touch with the manufacturer of the computer, for assistance in the recovery, files.

  You can also use your favorite search engine looking for a third party recovery tool recover files.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
