System restore:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
Follow the onscreen instructions.

To restore back to factory settings, you need the disk that came with the computer. Use it, and follow the onscreen instructions.

In the future, could you please use things known as sentences, which end in periods, so that it doesn't take me 10 minutes just to figure out what you're saying.

In the system properties there's a thing that says "Turn off system restore on all drives." Uncheck it. And then click Apply at the bottom.

Assuming I interpreted you correctly, that is.

You have no authority over me to tell me what I can and cannot answer.

Not to mention that I did at least try to answer your question - you could show some gratitude for me taking the time to do that.

It's your responsibility to make your question understandable, not our reponsibility to read between the lines. You're getting free help - this shows a complete lack of respect for those who are volunteering here and trying to help you.

well then you have no authority to tell me how to send my question,and another thing if you did not understand my question you should not have answered,because it does not take ten minutes to see that you don't understand a question.

WOW gentlemen or ladies. This is a forum, a forum to help others in need. In need of answers that are troubleing them. This isn't a place to argue and bicker over punctuation and grammar.

Morgaine300- there is no punctuation rule, if you don't like taking the time and reading the posts to help out fellow PC goers then don't read them. You're not at liberty to answer any question you don't want. There is no need for getting upset over something so minute.

7up- While I say that there is no rule in punctuation, writing while using proper punctuation is much simplier to understand. I appreciate your involvement in AMHD but figured I'd explain the easiest way for others to properlly interpret your questions.

As for your answer goes. I agree 100% with helpinhere. Also there are no "F" keys needed.

I hope all goes well and wish you luck!

Rick

P.S. Out of curiosity why do you need to restore both PC's.

I am not exactly the first person around to make a complaint that something was difficult to read. And I won't be the last.
