Re-setting and restoring my computer
i wouldnt post this unless it was exteamly urgent. My computer is a gateway WindowsXP, but recently its been running like windows95. Its increasingly slow and its giving me alot of problems. Its locking me out of programs and resetting installed functions as uninstalled. I want to know if theres something i can do to reset every thing. I want to wipe out everything of my computer except windowsXp. I just want to have it just as i first got it. Any ideas would really help
thank you

..................... guntims there is no other way then FORMATTING the comp
but if you wish to do so, you can just do
C:/format
it will ask for Y or N
Oh i forgot to mention, do this in DOS mode
dont worry if you have windows xp disc and youre graphics discs than those will work just do it this order
OS
GRAPHICS
SOUND
some other stuff with teh CD'S
dont worry its just like formatting ure psp and dos wont be deleted so you dun gotta worry about it cuz thats the bios of the computer dude
add me to msn if u need help man

wow, don't do anything stupid, most viruses you can clean off the comp, it's just takes a little time. Just download AVG free, google it, it helped my computer very nice, GREAT SUCCESS!

Yeah formatting works well. You'll just need an XP CD (or in your case a Gateway recovery disc).
