Restoring Laptop Back To Factory Settings
Replies: 7 | Post Date: 4 weeks ago | User: Manjinder C | Forums: answers.yahoo.comI think my laptop (acer 7720g) has got a virus because it freezes everytime i click the internet explorer icon to enable me to connect to the web. I have been advised by some of my friends to restore my laptop back to the factory settings, and in this way i could get rid of the virus. I shall be grateful if some one can kindly answer the following questions -
1. Would restoring the laptop back to factory settings get rid of the virus and enable me to connect to the internet as normal?
2. If so, how do i restore the company settings?
2. I have also been advised that there is no disc/cd available by which i can restore the laptop to the factory settings and that windows vista has an in built feature for doing this? Is that true? If so, how do i go about using it?
3. Finally, once i get my laptop up and running, i am thinking of putting on norton 360 anti virus. In your opinion, is this good anti virus software?

Limited To No Connectivity After Restoring To Factory Settings
I restored my dell to factory settings and everything was fine. I was trying to get my d-link antenna to work. I pulled out the air card while the computer was on and i'm wondering if i screwed something up. Everything seems to work fine except i cannot get onto the internet directly. I tried all the basic fixes like shutting down the cable modem and router and putting them back on. My laptop connects fine and the ethernet cable is fine. I tried repairing it going through network connections and that did nothing.

Restore Toshiba Laptop To Factory Settings
How do i restore my toshiba laptop to factory settings? I've pretty much tried everything, it didn't come with a recovery disk and when i restarted my computer and pressed whatever i pressed it only asked me to do memory diagnostics and to restore system settings with a restore point that i had to set that only set it to a recent point in time, which sucks. I got the computer in 08 and it runs windows vista if that helps any.

How To Restore Sony Vaio Laptop Factory Settings ?
How do i restore my sony vaio laptop to its factory settings?
Answer:-
Vista factory reset
This will not work if you haven't a pre installed os held in a partition. So, you have nothing to lose give it a go. I assume vista as you don't mention what your os is
Switch off your pc completely and clear the working area. You're ready to go: - on switching on, from a completely off situation, immediately and repeatedly¯ hit f10 (can be manufacture dependant) as it runs up, it'll show/allow you the options, for example repair your computer¯ select this. Answer a couple other obvious questions but, you're looking for their top option e.g. Full destructive recovery¯ this is what you're after. Don't be shy, it will ask many more times, do you really want to do this¯ just keep clicking yes please. 1. This course of action will take about ten minutes and if you haven't saved any files that you might like to have kept its now too late. Remember this will take it back to the day you purchased. So, you can install any subsequent software, printer drivers for example, at a much later date. 2. Sit back and watch while it does its thing¦then bing its back and talking to you, to help you set up your new purchased pc. I suggest you install your (for you i suggest norton 3 user from tescos £24, that's 8 quid each, fit and forget. ) Or some such anti virus now. You'll need to update your system; this can be lengthy, boring and defiantly time consuming. Might i suggest you leave it on, connected, to your modem while you're in bed asleep while these updates arrive?

How To Restore Asus Notebook Factory Settings ?
How do i restore my asus notebook to its factory settings?
Answer:-
Your system probably has a 'recovery partition', which you can load by pressing one of the function key when you boot your system. One manual for an asus m50 series says that you need to press the f9 key at bootup and follow instructions, though this may not work with your particular model. Of course, depending on what options your recovery software has, this may overwrite any important documents currently on your system. I'd consider booting off of a live linux cd like 'puppy linux', then use a usb drive to backup any important documents on the hard drive before 'restoring' the operating system.

Restore Hp Mini 110 To Factory Settings
My netbook hp mini 110 is started to run slower than it normally does. I think this is because i have too many programs installed and it's running low on memory. I am thinking about restoring it to factory settings. My netbook is running windows 7 home premium, but it came with windows 7 starter. Will restoring it set it back to starter? Also, what will happen once my netbook is set back to default factory settings? How long will it take?

Restore Windows Xp To Factory Settings On Dell Desktop
Restoring windows xp to factory settings on a dell desktop. My family's desktop computer is riddled with viruses, so need to restore it to factory settings. All data backed up. With my old laptop i did the restoring thing a couple of times - in start up mode you press f11 i believe? But that was a sony, does that still work with dell?
I know sometimes you need a disc to reinstall windows xp but am not sure if the computer came with one (it's very old), and if it did, i doubt i'd be able to find it!

Factory Restore Partition Gateway Laptop
I have a gateway mx6426 laptop. These machines have a d: partition that contains files for doing a factory restore. It also comes with a utility that allows you to create a recovery dvd. When i fist purchased the machine, i created a recovery dvd, using the built-in utility. Now, when i try to create a recovery dvd, i get the error:
"No recovery partition or update cd files found. Process aborted. "
Turns out, i'm not alone. Others have posted in forums requesting help on this one. However, i've yet to find an answer. Since my gatway laptop was a refurb, and my serial number is part of a series of refurb machines that aren't in their database, they will not provide technical support to me (unless i opt to wield the mighty credit card). Gateway support, did however, tell me that they know the solution to the problem - they just won't say what it is. So, anyone out there know this one?
From gateway's response, i'm guessing they put the recovery dvd creation utility on some type of timer or rigged it so that you can only run it once. i.e. I figure they've purposely limited the use of this until. Of course, that's only a theory.

Dell or hp brands open to suggestions though. Around a 750 gb hard drive. 15+ inch screen

Programs i will be running:
Photoshop

I am flexible on just about everything. I have also considered going mac but non of my programs are compatible with mac os so i would like to stay away from that if possible. Also if you could give me some recommendations on some good anti virus programs that would be great. I run g data on my desktop which has done a fantastic job so far.

Restoring Home Internet
I'm running off of windows vista and a quest dsl modem. If it helps the model is an "actiontec model gt701" i use mozilla firefox because windows explorer doesn't seem to work at all. When i try to use windows explorer the page just doesn't load. No prompts no nothing. Just sits there. When i try to access mozilla firefox i get prompted with a message that basically reads "unable to connect; cannot establish connection to server at en-us. Start3. Mozilla.com" then it suggests that the site is busy/unavailable and to check network connections. Then it says to make sure firefox is allowed to get past any firewalls or "proxy" (i don't know what that is). Now i have done just about everything i can think of to reconnect to the internet (i'm at a public library right now if you're wondering). The closest to a solution i have found is that apparently my modem is not compatible with windows vista. Which is bs because i was online 4 hours just yesterday. This all came about when firefox asked me to make some updates, which i did and immediately afterwards i was no longer able to get online. That's that if that's all you guys need to know great. But if you need to know what i have already done: i've restarted the computer. I've ran diagnostic over diagnostic. Apparently my modem is connected just fine to the local server i just can't get firefox or windows explorer to work. I even created an alternate user on my computer.

But if you need to know what i have already done: i've restarted the computer. I've ran diagnostic over diagnostic. Apparently my modem is connected just fine to the local server i just can't get firefox or windows explorer to work. I even created an alternate user on my computer.

Change Settings Of "f Keys" On Dell Laptop
How do i change the settings of these "f keys" on my dell laptop? At the top of my dell laptop there are those little keys that say f1, f2, f3, etc. I need them for a game but when i press them, it opens up computer programs (f1 opens screen settings, f2 opens internet connection settings, f3 opens power settings. ) So how can i choose to make those programs not open these up when i press the f keys?

Restoring Network Time Synchronization To Dc
I have 3 dcs on my domain (dc1, dc2, dc3). One is primary (dc1), and the others are only backups, set up to failure in the event that the primary fails. I was having some issues today due to time synchronization problems. I ran the dos command "net time" on one of the workstations on the domain, and it came back telling me to current time on dc3. Now, i only have dcs 1 and 2 set up to work as time servers, so i have a feeling that my time issue was because the network was viewing dc3 as the time server, and it wasn't set up to do the job. Is there a command that i can run to restore this function to the correct dc?

How to return my dell inspiron 530 computer to, just when it was out of the box with just the basic programs it came with n everything. Ive seen others ask how to do this with other pcs so i hope i can do it with mine. N will it erase everything else off the hard drive or will it just put it in a separate file that does nothing but take up space. Answer:- start pressing ctrl and f11 together as soon as you switch on, until the option for factory image/restore comes up on the screen.

Restoring Whs Drive Pool Partition On 1tb
I wanted a file off of my 1tb drive, hooked drive to buddy's whs machine, told the drive manager to import, accidentally double clicked when i should have single clicked, saw formatting drive, yanked power cord and partition appears to be gone. How to i recover it? This is 1/2 drives in the storage pool, and it was completely full. Format operation maybe got 3 seconds into it, but enough to nuke the partition. I think i will likely just need a partition recovery tool, but one that can do whs storage pool drives.
