Try changing video adapters. Disable and remove any newly installed hardware and drivers.

What does all this mean?

My computer has been very slow lately and I ran disk clean up and did defragmentation yesterday. However, I'm still getting blue screens.

How can I fix my computer? Would you please describe step by step the whole process.
Thanks.

i have recently recovered from a virus attack on my pc, and i now have some missing files that were most likely deleted during cleanup.

i don't want to lose all the software and data that i have accrued since i got the computer.

What do you think is the best Virus Protection on the market?

Not only that, I need Virus Protection, anti spy, and firewall. I've been using the suite that is included with ATT Yahoo DSL but I need a different one because I purchased a new computer with Vista and they dont support Vista (and won't until at least August). Preinstalled on my computer I have a free trial of Norton but I was not happy with them on my last computer because I felt they take up too much memory. Give me some suggestions and why. I need the works but they don't have to be from the same provider. I was leaning toward computer associates but tell me what you think.

My computer didn’t come with a Windows XP or clean up disk?

June 28, 2009

My computer is really messed up but it didn't come with any sort of disk…Its a Compaq. On the tower it says Compaq Presario SR1403WM. We bought it from a store. I think Best Buy or something but anyways it would be way out of warrenty by now. It has been years. I want to start it fresh (system restore wont cut it) and even if I did find a way to start fresh it didn't come with a windows XP disk to reinstall….My mom would have thrown the receipt away by now. HELP?
