Is there a keyboard shortcut to restore windows XP to it’s factory settings?


So, I jsut restored my Vista laptop, but now my mom wants her XP desktop fixed =.=
I tried the F-11, but it does nothing. Are there any other short cuts ??
Her System restore under System tools doesn’t work because her original date was deleted. And we don’t have any tapes.
Thanks!

Laptop manufacturers install a button for the system recovery. As for desktops, i don’t think one exists yet. And for restoring you mom’s Windows XP desktop, you cant. System Restore needs a date to boot back to. This is why it is ALWAYS a good idea to do a system backup every Friday evening and create a System Restore point.

I got redirected to a fake antivirus site that said warning u are infected how could this happened?

PLEASE HELP
Avast………………

I doubt very seriously that your computer is infected….The web shield should have protected you against download on your computer…to confirm this go into the Avast setttings…click on Log Viewer….then Click on Warning….I bet the is a log there that told you Avast Blocked the Fake Scan HtmL warning …. Right ?…..you are not infected.

What causes the blue screen of death and how do I fix it?

There is this game I play (Ragnarok online) and thousands and thousands of other people play it too. I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but once in a while, I get the blue screen right after i close it. I tried registry cleaners but I got it again today. Does anyone know what to do? or if there are other free registry cleaners that I can get to fix it?

That’s common. The best way I would recommend is to clear the cookies after you finish playing.

How do I fix a computer that has internet connection for 5 minutes then it doesn’t until I reboot it?

My computer, which has wired connection and the internet service is just fine, gets connection for only 5 mins then it’s gone until I restart it. What could be the problem and how might I fix it? My computer is like 5 yrs + old a gateway windows xp thats all I know about it.

It does sound like a virus, but not when it gives 5 minutes of service first. What are the other sympomes? Do you still have a link led on your ethernet card? Is there activity on the card? open a command window and type "ipconfig /all<cr>" this should give an idea of what the OS believes the card is doing. If the response is simular to this, the OS does not see the ethernet cable connected. Your trouble is NOT a virus.

What can you do about a slow computer?

Our PC runs pretty slow, and my dad thinks it’s because there’s too many files on it. Would getting a seperate hard drive solve it, or do we just need an upgrade/new computer? (It’s 7 years old).

Thanks for any help.

Everyone knows that Windows computers can sometimes slow down over time. While not an exhaustive list of solutions to problems, this collection presents some ways to speed up a computer.

1. De-Fragmenting
Over time, the data on your hard drive gets scattered. Defragmenting your hard drive puts your data back into sequential order, making it easier for Windows to access it. As a result, the performance of your computer will improve.
a) Right click of C Disk.
b) Click properties.
c) Click tools tab.
d) Click "Defragment now".
e) Click Defragment.

2. Uninstall Unneeded Programs
Removing programs that you no longer use can free up space on your computer and speed up your system’s performance. However, you need to uninstall the programs properly to see much improvement; deleting them is not enough.

3. Stop Programs from starting on Windows boot
One way you can speed up your computer is to prevent programs from launching themselves at start-up. Not only do the unwanted programs delay the start of Windows, they also continue to slow down your computer since they use system resources.
a) Open your Start menu.
b) Click Run
c) In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
d) In the "system configuration utility", click either "service" or "startup" tab
e) Uncheck all programs that you are no longer using.
f) Click "OK"

4. Check for Spyware and Adware
Spyware is software that allows companies to monitor what websites you visit or even access your computer. Adware is software that displays advertisements. Both use system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.

How do I fix computer freezing up?

My computer freezes, usually when I am playing Pogo, and I have to power off and on again. I am unable to move the cursor or anything, and the sound goes crazy like a skipping record. Internet Explorer seems to hang a lot also. I am running XP 2002 and I recently reinstalled the video drivers, otherwise have not downloaded anything. I have AVG anti virus which runs daily. Help?

There a several reasons why your computer is freezing. First question is when was the last time you cleaned your registry. Having a corrupted registry can cause a whole host of errors and problems. Freezing up is one of them. If you have a lot of unnecessary registry keys that are hogging up your computer resources. Your computer is bound to choke. Scan your registry with a good registry cleaner. If you pull up more than 20 errors or duplication, clean your registry.

2. Depending on your RAM specs and your computer usage. This could also be a the issue. Having an insufficient amount of free space does not allow your RAM to function properly. If you are using a lot of RAM by net surfing or other activities without enough empty space your will get freezes. You don’t need to buy new RAM but you should increase your free space by removing unnecessary data and perhaps increasing your virtual memory. The below link will show you how.

3. Spyware could be the culprit, so do a scan and see if your computer is infected.

4. That last area is a hardware drivers. This could be the problem if new hardware has been added to the system. So, the drivers should still be up to date. So try the first two suggestion and see if you can get your computer to stop freezing.
Check your drivers. Hope this helps.

The most common cause of computer freezes is a corrupt registry.
Most likely your registry is bloated and overstuffed with an assortment of useless pieces of data. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There will be bits of programs which were not completely uninstalled, parts of programs which were never completely installed, fragments of miscellaneous data, useless drivers, and a multitude of other bits and pieces.
The answer is to clean your registry and remove all the material which is not needed.
