Can Anyone Please Help? I Want To Set My P.C Back To Its Original Settings Please Advice.?

I have Recently switched Broadband providers.


My previous provider was AOL, but after uninstalling all the software there was still remnants of the programs still left behind. Also the spyware program that came with it still keeps showing up a spyware problem which keeps shutting down my computer.





The CD that I purchased with it does not work.





The P.C is a Windows XP Media Centre Edition.


It has a AMD Athlon 64 processor.





Any suggestions, its starting to get very, very annoying.

unfortunately windows hasn't got such a feature to go back to original state for your situation (System Restore won't work for this), so you have only two choices





1. Install an advanced commercial Add/Remover and clean up those remaining files





or





2. Manually delete the remaining registry entries and files. you can use Task manger with System Information to track the files. use PID (Process Identifier to identify the files/process)





Hope you will get something from this.

Unfortunately Nothing helped me with my problem. Report It

Reply:I think System Restore will work, provided you choose a restore date as close to being when you got the computer, that way the settings couldn't help but be right. What you said about your spyware program concerns me. I would uninstall it, because it sounds like the way Norton worked against me when I got my Dell Dimmension 3000 with XP. It had McAfee on it. It was awful, so I got Norton. Even worse. Now I have for free, SpyBot Search %26amp; Destroy 1.4 anti spyware. It works great, using regular updates %26amp; scans %26amp; immunizing.
