Depending on what type of computer you have you might have a recovery partition on your hard drive. If you do have a recovery partition then you can revert your operating system back to a time when you first bought the computer.</p> <p>Otherwise, just uninstall the problem programs and create a new user account. That will help you have a cleaner profile.</p> <p>I would recommend just re-installing the OS, as it will be the best solution in the long term. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/how-can-i-restore-my-windows-os-to-factory-setttings#post-617 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:15:15 +0000 BigEasy 617@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I'm comtemplating this because my PC has become cluttered with lots of small programs and drivers that I don't need anymore.

The problem i am facing is that whenever i save any pictures or videos in my laptop they automatically create a shadow file with extension .jpg.files. For example i have saved a picture named JOHN, now next time i want to open that picture there is another copy of the picture is made nearby the picture in its own folder with name JOHN.jpg.files<br /> The original picture opens as usual with no problem. But the duplicate copy of the picture is created in a folder and opens in a very small size than actual size. This problem i am facing for a very long time. I have to delete the duplicate folder everytime but it is automatically created everytime i visit the pictures folder.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/black-screen#post-599 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 04:45:36 +0000 Adam 599@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>You can start Windows 7 in safe mode and then uninstall the video driver and then re-install it. To get into safe mode press the F8 key before the Windows 7 logo appears. Give it a try. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/black-screen#post-598 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:28:23 +0000 8596randy 598@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I have windows 7 home prem.

Some games might run under the Windows XP compatibility mode in Windows 7, but chances are high that your games won't work perfectly if they do work. Give it a try and see what happens. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/product-key-not-accepted#post-584 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 05:37:36 +0000 Adam 584@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>The main reason a product key will not be valid is:</p> <p>- You mistyped the Windows 7 product key</p> <p>- Your product key doesn't match the version of Windows 7 on your computer</p> <p>- You used an upgrade key but you performed a clean installation of Windows 7. In order to use the upgrade key you have to upgrade from a previous version of Windows (XP or Vista) that was installed on your system.</p> <p>Those are the main reasons for your problem. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/running-games#post-561 Thu, 24 Dec 2009 03:12:42 +0000 Loggy 561@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>Does anyone else have problems running games like Total Wars and Railroad Tycoon.

I have bought a brand new Windows 7 OS complete with box. After entering the product key on installation I receive the message "The product key is not valid. Please retype the product key". I already emailed Microsoft but I'm still waiting for my product key. Any suggestions on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/specs#post-413 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:24:29 +0000 cooks 413@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I have a computer I am thinking about putting 7 on for a children's computer. It is not super fast but it has always been reliable. Would it be better to just purchase a computer with this installed or is it possible to reuse this old machine? </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/free-test-windows-7#post-397 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 03:47:06 +0000 Connie 397@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>Is there anyway to get to use and test Windows 7 without purchasing it?

Check out the HP website for any updated Windows 7 drivers for your printer and then download and install them. </p>
