I have a Dell laptop that I got in December. It seems that there is always something happening. I don't have a lot of programs I have added and I have burned all the pics and doc folders I need.
Is there a big difference between using the system restore disc to repair or restore? Has anyone out there done a restore and it fixed internet problems? When I use Mozilla it works fine but int IE. I have to use IE for a college class,no choice but always problems and freezing every time I use it. I have tried removing & reinstalling, many types of spyware/virus/adware programs.. nothing helps. Could there just be a corrupt file? I also can not download/upload anything now. The problem started from beginning which is why I removed IE.

Back up all your data, and do a full reformat and a clean reinstall of Windows.
You probably have hosed your Internet Explorer from the removal of all that malware that you have had.
If you are using Limewire or another file-stealing program, discontinue use and you will have far fewer problems looking forward.
Many downloads using P2P file-sharing programs are loaded with malware. You will be downloading "stuff" from unknown stranger's computers while they will be uploading from your computer at the same time. You do not download from any website

The restore discs are fairly simple, pop it in your drive, restart your laptop & away it goes! Make sure you've got a backup of all your files, because it will re-install windows effectively, taking it back to how it was when you bought it.
Up to you whether you fancy restoring or taking some other steps first. (Do you know anyone who might take a look at it for you first?) A Techie perhaps?

mutually as the device starts to startup press the CTRL and F10 (or F11) key concurrently. which will take you returned to the production unit settings. returned up your information in the past you are attempting this because it is going to wipe the slate sparkling. Edit: Reread your question. do you opt to do a device restoration or reset your device to the default settings? As Alan_B stated they are 2 completely different products. With device restoration you will no longer lose any of your information. you are able to flow returned ninety days. it fairly is that in case you realize whilst the concern all started occuring. Steven_B has given the instructions for a device restoration. After the device restoration you would be able to could desire to reinstall specific classes. in case you opt to thoroughly erase your device and reset it to the production unit settings then do what I reported. whilst the device first boots up (the BIOS demonstrate) press CTRL+F10 and it will walk you thru it. you will lose all your information and the different products you put in. Backup in the past you are attempting this. :)
