Ok this is gonna should like im covering a screw up of my own but im not. My younger brother who is going to college and is going to get his laptop in a couple of weeks just told me that he is having problems with his desktop (which we are going to give to my youngest brother). His browseing habits im sure were really bad. I am on spring break so i am trying to take care of this computer as quickly as i can. He does not need anything from this computer so i think a restore may be the best way to do this but there are a couple of problems. The computer is a HP pavilion 752, 2.0 GHz Pentium 4, 512mb DDR, 60.0 GB hard drive. we got the computer a couple of years back at sams club or someplace like that. the computer takes about 10 min to boot up normally and is very very slow. i have disconnected it from the internet to help stop the flow of problems. The computer popped up first thing saying that it is not a geniue copy of windows but i know this is not true. is there an easy way to restore the computer and then i can go through the steps in PP's sticky to make sure that it is ok? but like i said, i dont want to connect the computer into my router cuz i dont know what it will do. thanks
