How do I restore completly to the day I got the Computer Is it possible to
delete all partions on the hard drive so everything in the cmos and all is
restore and deleted its the only way to get my internet explore runnin right
I think. Its running to slow and has spybots or something slowing it way
down and using up my resources.

Hi Kevin,

How you do that depends on your system. If it is a regular retail WindowsXP
CD, then you would simply boot it, start the installer then delete the
existing system partition, create a new one, format and proceed. If your
system came preinstalled with WindowsXP, then you will need to follow the
manufacturer's recovery steps, whatever they may be.

Re-installing can be a good thing, but better to learn how to clean up a
system without having to re-install each time.. here are two links to get
you started..

To overcome problems, type a key word into the search bar of IE or Google..
to get the two links above, you would have typed SPYWARE.. it really is that
easy..
