Contact Dell to get a recovery CD or use their Recover to factory settings
option on Start Up.
Note you need to back up your Data and Get your Norton Key to reinstall it
after going back to Factory Settings.

Did you get rid of Godzilla?

Its easy, just you need to follow 3 steeps maybe 4. Any modern computer has
set of recovery system disk, the big problem is, the maker wants save some
money building the recovery system on computer's storage system, this sofware
is hidden, but you can reach it in couple option, appears on programs menu
like RECOVERY SYSTEM MANAGER, RECOVERY AND RESTORE CONSOLE, the rigth option
is RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS then restart the computer. In other computer
the system recovery require a set of blanks cds to make the RECOVERY SYSTEM
CDS SET. You can get the original the RECOVERY SYSTEM CDS SET from the
computer's maker with a little charge. well, if you can reach the automatic
RECOVERY SYSTEM from the program menu then just wait until the software end
its job, if you dont, the let work on it, you have to got the recovery system
cd set, maybe 3 of them, one is the operating system XP or Vista, the second
one is drivers system cd right for the right system you own, dont worry YOU
CAN download the driver from maker's site. and the last cd is aplications
dvd-cd player-writer software, antivirus etc. well at this point you have all
the tools you were to need.
1)insert the operating system cd XP or Vista, Restart or turn on your
computer.
2)Wait for the text says Press any key to START from cd o someting like
that. If you don see that text and the windows start normally then you
computer has the HARD DRIVE like the fisrt BOOT divice, you have to change to
CD DRIVE like first BOOT divice. Then restar the computers and when you get
the fist video signal look rapiddly for the KEY let you in to the SETUP menu
for DELL maybe F2, OK. When you are in looking for BOOT menu or BOOT opcion
and set CD driver like fisrt BOOT divice. And go to step 2 once.
3)Follow the instructións to install fresh copy of windows. On the go, you
wont repair from console,you hace to accept license and condition, it is hi
recommend erase windows partition or all you have, and create two, one for
the system you have to make first and a second one to backup you data in the
future.
4)In this point you gonna see two partitions C: and D: then select C: and
press enter to install windows in this partition. You can format D: when you
done to install windows. On the next screen select format NTFSC quick
partition. And next windows start the process. Set couple options like time
zone or language, user name etc. when this process ends, youR fresh copy of
windows it gonna be ready.
5)Install drivers and aplications. ( you have looking your lap's drivers
from your lap's maker check SUPPORT or DOWNLOADS or both. You can also check
support on YOUTUBE. GOOD LUCK
