April 2, 200619 yr first you have to learn english and learn how to talk on these forums so people can understand you. second, if you want that thing which restores it to how your comp was than you'll have to do a system restore which can be found by going to start/accessories/system tools/system restore. if it is turned off for some reason or if it was never enabled then you can use spybot search and destroy which is a good free spyware remover. if you still want to reformat and want to go through reinstalling the mobo drivers, your programs, etc. then first i would consider backing up any files to another harddrive ony oru separate comp or somewhere else. if you want to do a clean format and don't care about any files then you can download a cracked version of a windows SP2 Operating system which is either a regualr version in whcih you have to input the product key AND some program to disable the registration or you can d/l a corporate version of it which lets you jsut input the cd key and there is no registration since it was meant to be put on many many computers over a network. you can then burn the cd .iso by burning the image on a disc after you d/led it so it is bootable. Then you put the cd in your cd drive, go into the bios and change the boot order to cd first and then run the cd, reformat the harddrive and reinstall the OS on your comp, and reinstall all your drivers and programs. I hope this helps and jsut in case you don't know how to d/l the OS which im guessiing you don't since you can't even reformat then ask around or figure out how to d/l thorugh torrents or IRC. Also dell sucks even though they jsut bought out alienware.

April 3, 200619 yr The first poster posts single lines, hits enter at the end of each sentence, but leaves everything in one big block. The second poster rags on him for this, but leaves all of his text in one giant paragraph. Plus the whole thread is about how to format a computer, which the guy can't do because Dell didn't give him nice little discs like Sony. This truly is a battle of the titans. Get yourself a Windows XP disc however you can, and reboot with it in the drive. If you can't figure it out from there, you're fucked.
April 3, 200619 yr i could care less that he didn't space it, all i cared about was that he should speak better English.
April 5, 200619 yr download: spybot s&d adaware or find a cracked copy of: spysweeper The only decent one out of those is spybot. The ultimate arsenal: - XoftSpy - Spybot s&d - Spyware Doctor ($2 per month, not too much really... AND ITS CHEAPER THAN GETTING A NEW OS FROM REFORMATTING) - or if you don't want to pay, use spyware doctor to locate the problem and remove it manually. Teh Doctor is the best one out there atm. The links you might need: http://www.pctools.com http://www.google.co.uk If you're REALLY stuck go to http://www.pchelpforum.com And say "NeedingHelpHere" referred you. Reformatting should be a last resort.
