baseballer1100 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 I have windows vista and for some reason it always freezes up amongst other things. Is there anyway i can delete everything off the hard drive and what not and start like i had just bought the computer? I have nothing to hide lol. I just am tired of messing around with all this shit and want to try to start over. Thanks for the help. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meade916 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 ya you format the harddrive and reinstall windows.......or you go into the bios and set boot order to cdrom first, hdd 2nd then drop the windows disc in and restart. Follow the instructions. You may also have to reinstall video, sound and network drivers.......its good to know what all parts you have because if you dont you wont know which drivers to get and you will be really screwed. So before you start, find out exactly what video card (even if its onboard video), sound (even if its onboard) and network card (same thing, even if its on board you may still have to get the drivers somewhere). The network is the most important cuz if it aint woking your not downloading the other drivers be careful and hope to see you back online and here soon!

AI James Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 is this a put together pc or an already loaded maching like a dell or sony or somethign of those likes, as loading a vusta oem or retail copy onto these systems voids any support you may get from these companies. If it is one of these you may wanna throw in a recovery disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should i try contacting them and maybe have them do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
