Bought this computer last year online with now restore dvd. worked perfect in the beginning. i cant even listen to music without it glitching when i try to do other things at the same time like checkin my email. i've upgraded the RAM to 1.5G hopin that will fix the problem but it didnt. so now i need the restore dvd but i cant find it anywhere. i went to geeksquad they say i need to buy a new OS that cost 200 then installing it cost another 150 so 400 just to reformat the computer. thats more than what i paid for the computer. do you or anyone you know has the restore dvd?
You can buy it from DELL. They will send it to you for between $20 to $40. Sounds like you have spyware though.
Turn the system restore off. System
restore keeps everything in restore. Meaning......... If you have spyware
or a virus, it will stay in your system. Run Spybot S&D (This program
is free and is better than using msconfig as long as you go through the
settings and change everything to the highest settings.) Then do the same with
Adaware 2008 (sounds stupid to use 2 things for spyware, but one catches what
the other one does not.). I have links on my website
(tandnfamilyelectronics-online.com). These links go directly to the
download so you will not get the run around. You would do good to try a
program called Window Washer. This is a great program that completely
cleans anything in your computer that you do not need. It will not clean
out anything that you have to have. I have used this for years to clean
out my customers computers and have cleaned as much as 3 gigs of trash
out. If you contact me I will give you some tools that I have for free
that will do a great job on your computer. I have them ready to download
and I will give you the link.

i have done all the virus scans malware/spyware scans. ive defrag and checked disks. ive used programs to speed up my computer. everything is up to date. nothing seems to work. now i just want to completely start brand new. i was actually goin to go to a computer store today and go buy a new computer for $500. but if u do have the restore dvd i would really appreciate it if u give me a copy. thanks. and yes i've tried both adaware and spybot both at the same time. i'll download window washer and see how tat works out. by the way the only time my computer gets really glitchy and annoys me is when i listen to music and when i watch videos i download. all my sound and my video cards have been updated and ive tried rollback driver but nothing works stil glitch
