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 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.

Restore Compaq Laptop To Factory Settings

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?

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?

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.

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.

Restoring Laptop Back To Factory Settings
I 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?

Dell Desktop Restore Original Settings
How can i restore my dell desktop to its orginal settings? I have a dell desktop. It's not old, but it's not new, i've been using it for a few years, and it suddenly got the "blue screen of death", and my mom was fiddling with it and i don't know what she did with it but. Once i turn it on, it goes right to a black screen and says. "Strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for setup utility". I clicked f1, and it just says it again and makes a little beeping noise. I also clicked f2 and there was really nothing in there that would help me i don't think. How can i somehow boot my computer and then get it so i can re-install windows xp again and get it to work?

What Kind Of Graphics Card Should I Get?
I did post once in the general hardware forum and got a great answer by stang, but i have not gotten anything after that for a few days. So, i thought it might be appropriate to try and post in the video card forums and just narrow down my question. Alright, i've been looking for a new graphics card to get, and i've already been through so much trouble trying to find a good one that i might as well go through a little more trouble to find a decent one. My computer is an hp pavillion a1630n with everything still original. If theres any other info yol may need, feel free to tell me where to find it. Im looking for a card that will mainly just last me a long time while playing graphic intensive games smoothly. My budget for the card is $200, which so far i've noticed can buy some good cards off newegg or tigerdirect. Atm i have a 300w psu, so im aware that i may need an upgrade with that too. Im thinking about getting ocz stealthxstream 700w since its only $70 after mail in rebate. Apparently theres no need to even have a 700w with my pc, but its pretty cheap and i do need a new psu anyway. Any thoughts on that?
Also, i was actually very close to buying a xfx geforce gtx 260 black edition (with 2 included games as well!), But according to the reply in my other post, that would be a tad too powerful for my pc. With the goals mentioned in the paragraph above (first sentence) in mind, what would be the best card suited for me?

Graphics Card Or Motherboard Problem
I am helping a friend out but trying to fix their pc. Their pc stopped working a few days ago. It would not boot up whatsoever it was turning on but and you can hear the hardrive and fan working but it was not beeping as if there is not enough power getting to the pc. I took the pc home and opened it up to have a look it was incredibly dusty. I took out the memory ram and placed it into a different slot. After this the pc booted up but there was 1 long beep followed by 3 shorts beeps on start up. The bios screen said there was a cmos error and it had to be reset i rest the cmos and bios to optimum settings and the pc worked fine. Everytime i tested the boot up i got the same 1 long beep and 3 short beeps followed by 2 quick beeps a little later on. The pc booted up 7 times on the trot and even when i tried it later in the day it booted up. The next day i tested it and it didn't boot up. I moved the memory ram into the third slot and the pc booted up again with the 1 long beep and the 3 shorts beeps. I wondered if the ram slots were going on the motherboard as i have tested a new memory chip in the pc and it did exactly the same thing. Looking up the beep codes they state that it could either be a memory problem (not seated properly or bad memory) or a graphics card problem. I unfortunately cannot put a new graphics card in as i don't have access to one at present. I live in the sticks in spain and because of this it is not too easy to get hold of parts. I was just wondering if this sounds like a motherboard or graphics card problem. I realise that it is hard to say without seeing the pc but if anyone could point me in the right direction in terms of tests i could do or any thoughts it would be very much appreciated. I don't want to tell them to fork out for a new graphics card or motherboard and find out that still doesn't solve the problem.
