After system restore problems

Heres what happened I did a system restore where you pick to set the computer to a later date. I also did the system recovery with the CD/DVD disk that emachines gave me with the computer which is D3107 model. Anyways none of the above things set my computer back to the way it was. So I did another system recovery except I did the destructive and I knew it would delete my user created files but it also deleted microsft works, the dvd player and video controller(vga), PCI stuff, basically everything that came with the computer except solitare, adobe, and other files like disk configuration and word pad. I also cant use the media player. So how can I change to computer back to the way It was when I bought it?

The only way this can be done is if you use the system discs that you have supplied from e machines, but back up all documents as it will format the drive. Insert the first dvd and leave it in the drive and restart your system, but as it's booting press either F2 or Del and you will get the bios screen, go to advanced menu and select your cdrom as first boot device, save settings and exit. The sytem will reboot and prompt you to press enter to start with cd, and follow your disc instructions.

A52F keyboard problems

Looks like your keyboard has been hijacked. Turn your computer off and boot up in Safe Mode. When you hit the power button to turn the computer on immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFE MODE. Select the Safe Mode option. Once safe mode is up things will look different to you. The icons will be bigger and the screen will be darker, that's normal.

If this started happening to you recently say only a day or two ago then lets try doing a System Restore to a date and time before it started happening. Click Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. When System Restore pops up look for an option that will allow you to pick additional restore points than the one you see. You want to pick a date and time that was before your keyboard started acting crazy.
Let it run to completion then try typing again.
Don't worry, System Restore does not destroy your data, documents, music, pictures, videos, (programs (unless you added a program after the restore point you selected)). System Recovery destroys everything and sets your system back to when you first purchased it.

I have no sounds and when I open the control panel, there's that i have no sound device. I installed the driver, when it didnt work I reinstalled it, but nothing changed. what can I do?

Hi, the best thing to do at this point is perform a "System Restore." Try to remember the exact "Date" before the problem occur, or once you start the System Restore, ("pick a date going back more than 5 days"), check the dates and see if any of the dates seem familiar. Pick the closest date prior to the "Sound going out!" Type: in the "Start Search Window" from the start menu: system restore; scroll to find, and open. Follow all the instructions carefully, and be very "patient," you cannot use the computer in any way during the "system restore" even after the computer "Restart" the system restore is still running to "fix the problem." When the process is finish the computer will let you know if the restore was successful or not? Do what is suggested if the restore didn't fix it." "Hope it works out for you; if so rating the help will let me know, thanks."

Tried to install nortan on sony vaio laptop next day i tried to start laptop it shows the system menu but then image error pops up with a black screen. cannot use laptop i think i may have lost data....

There might be a problem during the installation of norton. What you can try to do is to perform a system restore and bring back the computer to an earlier date before you install norton or befor you get the problem. Here are the steps on how to do it:

restart the computer
press F8 key repeatedly when you see the VAIO logo until you get the screen that says Advanced boot option
use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight safemode then press enter
when it loads to safemode, go to start menu
go to all programs
click accessories
click system tools the select system restore
on the system restore window, click next
in choose a different restore point, you will see list of dates or calendar where you can pick a date that you want to use in restoring back the computer settings.
click on the next button again
click finish

the computer will start restoring the settings back to the selected date which may take for a few mins(2mins to 10mins usually). system restore does not delete any personal files/documents. It only undo software applications, updates and settings.

Need registry key to to install printer

Assuming you are running Windows XP, you may be able to repair this issue if you "restore" your computer to an earlier date.

This is a process by which Windows remembers a time when your computer functioned properly, and sets your computer to those settings. Most of the registry problems can be fixed in this manner.

To access Restore feature, click Start and find Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, then System Restore.

A window should open that asks if you would like to create a restore point, or restore your computer to an earlier date. Choose this later option.

The next screen should show you a calendar. The dates which are bold are dates that you can choose to restore your computer.

You may not fix the problem on the first try; so choose the most recent bold date, and restore. If the printer still will not install, repeat the process with the next older date.

Unfortunately, if this process does not allow you to repair your computer's software, a reinstallation of the operating system may be required.

Good luck....tony

How to restore factory settings

Best bet is to do a system restore to a date before you have problems. Go into start>accessories>system tools>system restore. Your computer automatically creates restore points each time you log on..so once you are in system restore just pick a date that was before you had problems and your system will restore itself to that date...if you have any questions let me know..there are other options if that does not work so keep me updated..

Please rate with 4 diamonds.
