Hey everyone. I plan on doing a reformat, but before I get started with that, I am going to put everything I want on to an external hard drive for later retrieval.
(The reason I am doing this is because my computer is getting really slow with loading files, the registry is a mess even though I use CCleaner, Defrag, and virus softwares like norton, malwarebytes.. etc.. and my computer is 7 years old now…)
After I got all my songs, pictures, movies, and whatever else on my external hard drive, I am going to reformat. My computer came with the following CD’s
-Microsoft Works Suite 2003 (Disc 1-5)
-APPLICATION For Reinstalling Dell Tools System Software
-APPLICATION For Installing/Reinstalling Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.2 Basic
-Drivers And Utilities Dell Dimension Resource CD (Contains drives, diagnostics and utilities and computer documentation.)
-OPERATING SYSTEM Reinstallation CD for XP Home Edition SP 1.
-Sound Blaster Live!
-Norton Antivirus
Ahh thanks for reminding me to backup favorites!

Yes you seem to be set for a format and re-install.
I have a Dell Laptop that is 3.5yrs old and if yours is anything like mine, reinstalling the OS, motherboard drivers, and all the software that came with it will require some knowledge of or at least some experience at PC’s.
If this isn’t so, then have a friend with you for moral support when you do it.
Get’r dun.
Yep, set..go for it.
One thing people always forget to backup is there Favorites list from the IE or Fire Fox Browser, don’t forget this! You don’t want to lose all of your links!!!
