• How to restore my computer to its original settings

  I am selling my computer hwow can I remove power from her

  Depends on how paranoid you are, and if your computer is equipped with a provided by the manufacturer "restore hidden partition."

  When a computer manufacturer sells you a computer with Windows preinstalled, part of the Microsoft license agreement requires that it provides a way to reinstall the operating system.  In the old days, you will get a physical media (CD or floppy disks even), but for a number of years, manufacturers have been rather including hidden software on the disk hard drive that by operating, restores the computer to the way it was when it left the factory.

  How this restoration software is started depends on the brand and model of your computer.  See your user's Guide, go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer or identify the make and model in a response here.

  Running these software in general should replace anything currently on the hard disk, including your personal information.

  For more security, before running the software 'restore', you can delete any personal data that you know (there are still a few traces in the Windows registry and other locations of the system), and then run a utility that wipes free space and soft space on the disk.  See http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-secure-erase-utility.htm

  If you have a Windows installation CD to give to the buyer - or if you do not care to sell a computer without an operating system - download Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN).  This utility will erase safely any hard drive, including the operating system.

  The extremely paranoid, including some administrations in three letters, remove hard disks and either keep for reuse or physically destroy them (by cutting, drilling, or fusion).

• Restore the computer to its factory XP Pro status update to SP3?

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 on an old but still functional machine.  Despite several attempt I can't get bugs
  the update SP3 to work... it seems to be installed, but I can only boot Windows Mode without failure.  At this point (and for other reasons), I want to restore the original sound, out of the condition of the area of a disk image.  Since the end of support for XP Pro SP2 and lower ranks, when I've restore the machine to its original state Pro XP will I still be able to use Windows Update?  I have Windows XP PRO SP3 update on a disc.  Of the State of origin of machines, can I just install SP3 using this disc?

• Advantages and disadvantages need to restore my computer to its factory settings

  HP Pavillion Model a4310f with AMD Athlon II X 2 250 clocked (3 GHz) Win 7 64 bit Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM.  My C: Drive has free 495 GB of 585 GB.  I have a boot disk more system recovery DVDs all created when the system has been started.  I use Trend Micro Internet Security virus and spyware protection.

  Why restore?  Overall, the answer is wrong.  Installed programs take 15-20 seconds to start.  The Internet response is all too slow.  No significant improvement if I stop of Trend Micro.  I see more thumbnails of photos - just file names.  For always takes to spool a file to the printer (HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One) and half the time the printer will not align when new cartridges are installed. I don't think I have too many installed programs, but there are a few that I would Setup not again.

  I had my Internet provider out there and everything checks out there - they deliver what I pay for (20 Mbit/s download and 1.30 MB/s upload).

  I better leave all as is or go back and re - install only the programs that I use regularly?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a4310f. According to the specifications, the computer is more than three years old. As time passes, a Windows installation can get cluttered with a messy registry, fragmented system of orphan files and folders/files.

  In my opinion, these elements can cause the problems you are experiencing. The pros to recover the computer to a factory State, is that the performance must be returned to love the day you set up your computer. The disadvantages include having to re-install your programs, many drivers and software updates, who need back up and restore your files and personal data, etc.. Once again, in my opinion, it would be worth the effort to recover the computer to a factory State. This should cure most, if not all of your problems.

• I NEED ASSISTANCE TO RESTORE THE COMPUTER BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

  I have a Dell Vista Home Premium 32 bit computer.  On April 14, I tried to update some drivers, install a music player & even install Vista Service Pack 1.  Is Service Pack 1 bis new section?  I've had my computer for several years and I have automatic updates, so I was surprised when I turned on my computer on April 14, and a message came saying Windows was this important update & I wanted to install, I did.

  Anyway, between all the stuff I did that night I somehow totally messed up my computer.  When nothing would not properly work, I went up to the back & Food Center.  I used this at least a couple of times before without a problem.  This time however, there is no restore point of your choice except April 14.  Anything before that.  When I click on choose another restore point, nothing happened.  I tried to choose April 14 restore point but that didn't help.  Then, to really live things, I decided to restart my computer in Mode safe.  I will never use this option again.  Now I can't get into anything other than Safe Mode.  I ran Spyware, Malware and all the options 'repair your computer' I could find.  Nothing did.  I came on this forum once and the person who helped me finally said the only thing that remains for me to do was to do a full system restore.  He said there was nothing more he could think of to help me.  He didn't tell me how.

  I'm not crazy to do recovery, because I don't know that I will have things then it will fix it, as my Internet service and who knows what else.  But not having not much money right now, I don't want to take my computer somewhere to be fixed if I have to.  Could you please help me to do a full system recovery?  First of all, how can I save my photos and my files, I don't want to lose?  And how do I know what I need to save?  I have a USB flash Memory Stick that I plugged into my computer.  He downloaded the software but I have no idea how to do to get my files to transfer to it.

  And what if I have a virus?  Would I transfer to the portable storage device and then reintroduce the virus to my computer when I transfer this back?  I ran spyware & malware and nothing shows up, but clearly SOMETHING is wrong.  I have a disc of reinstalling that came with my computer but I shouldn't need to use this, should I?  Someone has the patience to give me DETAILED instructions on how to make the recovery, including how to do a back up?  I would love you forever.

  To backup your data: files, photos, music, etc:

  1. plug the flash drive
  2. go in where your files are stored
  3. click right on what you want to record, example: a photo album > Send to > click on the USB Flash Drive(it might be Drive E: or F:)> it will save to it)
  4. Repeat until you have backed up all your data.

  When it comes time to reinstall the data, connect the Flash drive, AFTER that you have an anti-virus and Anti-Malware installed, right click on the flash drive? It Scan before copying the files on your computer.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  After the reinstallation of this Image, you should have a period of trail for an anti-virus; ask here if you don't for a free good.

  And reinstall these 2 programs I gave you.
  You're doing a right click and scan your Flash drive with them:

• I want to know how to use the fingerprint, that I had to my notes

  I want to know how I put the finger impression that I would be in settings on my notes please

  Not quite sure I understand what you are wanting to do.

  There is no way to use the fingerprints Notes ID secure. There is no real way to even set a password for the default Notes app.

  If you use a 3rd party notes App that claims to support this feature, then you should tell us that one.

  There is no way to integrate the stands of fingerprint ID Notes like her.

  This is a feature which will come with the next update iOS: iOS 9.3.

  Thanks to anypats for the clarification.
