I have a packard bell here.
There is a program called Smart Restore but it is not particularly
accessible as far as I can tell.
If you hold down function key 11 at start up it gives you a number of
reformatting options, one of which is to just install Windows. Try going
for this and create a minimum build from there.
Cheers
Graham

Hi Andy,
I seem to remember you had a Packard Bell from PC world?
I
F so, then are you using a recovery disk to get data back onto the
computer? If so, I think this is where Norton is coming in. I have a
similar scenario with a Toshiba laptop. My advice is that if Norton is
on the machine, then uninstalling it can cause a larger headache then
just leaving it there. Additionally, I really wouldn't bother using
Sygate, as the router will do inbound protection for you, and if Norton
is still on the system, chances are that it is Norton Internet Security,
and contains a firewall. Norton may not update because if you activated
it several months ago, it may think the subscription is rapsed - do you
know how long the subscription was for?
PC World are doing some very strange things with systems, like taking
companies like Toshiba who produce ok equipment, creating a separate PC
World specific model, putting loads of junk (usually a 90 day trial of
Norton Internet Security on it), then selling it to you with a recovery
disk where it is not possible to not install the junk in the first
place.
As I said, if you can get Norton on there running after a clean recovery
I think this is the way to go.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] Internet Security and Routers
Hi all.
At Christmas, I bought my wife a wireless router to enable her to go on
the
internet with her computer, which is located upstairs. She got a
wireless
card installed. The router is downstairs and my computer is attached at
that point. Since getting this router I have had nothing but problems
and
had to re-format several times. I've also had problems getting rid of
Norton, which came with my computer. I re-formatted on Sunday and this
time, rather than try to get rid of Norton and use Sygate and AVG, I
decided
to just let Norton do it's stuff. Unfortunately, when I did a live
update,
my computer seemed to crash or stall. I decided to attempt to turn
Norton
off and managed this, in terms of Internet Security and Anti Virus. I
then
installed Sygate and AVG and my old problems started again. So,
eventually,
to my question. Is having a router perhaps causing my problems. I
mean,
is there any implications when using Sygate, AVG or Norton, when you are
attached via a Router.
I've really had it with this computer and fancy just visiting PC World
to
get into dept again, but if the problems I am having are associated to
my
Router, then a new computer would not resolve anything. Any advise or
ideas
would be very welcomed.
Best wishes.
Andy
