How do i partially restore a Microsoft 2000xp?

[Guest]

My computer is ridiculously slow, and i have restored it once before by
pushing some buttons while turning it on, yet i don't remember what buttons i
pushed...does anyone know how to restore my computer? It doesnt come with a
back up disk, it's already on the computer.

I suggest you start by contacting who sold you your computer. It should
be against the law not to provide restore disks with them.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.

I think you meant the F8 key.

Check Windows Help on the topic "Start the computer using the last known
good configiuearion".

There are also topic on booting in safe mode and booting to command prompt.

(IIRC) If you want to repair Windows, I think you need to insert the Windows
CD into a bootable CD drive (make sure the BIOS has the CD drive higher in
the boot list than the hard-disk) and re-boot your computer. The boot from
the CD will recognise that you already have the OS on the hard-disk and will
offer repair / reinstall the OS.

If you buy a computer that comes with pre-installed software, INSIST on the
CD. Otherwise, don't buy ...

BTW, this newsgroup is for Microsoft Access, a database application. If you
need further help, please post your question in one of the relevant Windows
newsgroups.
