Richard,
Is there a way to get my computer back to the way it was when I bought it?
I get tons of error messages, my computer freezes and shuts down on its own.
I can't figure out how to correct the problems without removing everything on
the hard drive. If you could help that would be great.
Thanks,
Sandy
