Computer help please.

After removing several programs on my PC it now when switching on allthough full page shows all the words very tiny, the bottom right corner states -100% but the words are not. I have gone into "view" and even "page" and increased word size but it dosent hold the new size when changing to other forums I read, also when scrolling down the page it now behaves very notchy ie almost jerky. I am, I confess a old numpty on a pc hence the vast amount of dosh I have had to lay out on several ocasions having it put right by a local repair centre, I have also tried to reset it to a earlier day before I buggered it up but I cant even do that now.any good advice wellcome, Thanks guys. Ron.

sounds like removing stuff may have removed system lines, try a scandisc and tick the recover and repair, if that doesnt replace whats missing it would be a lot easier to just reformat.

 

on that note get some recovery program like accronis or nortans ghost or the likes, make a copy when you reformat with al your programs on and save a copy image of your HD.. beets the smeg out of a full reformat.(and even your favorates at the time of the copy will be there running as it is was.

Thanks for that ghillies, Tried the scandisc and it came up asking £29.95 for cover on up to 10 PC,s?? Jeeze Ive only got one! Downloaded AVG and it now has slowed down to a crawl, Methinks I will have to take it in for it to be put right, Ive tried to remove AVG but its refusing to budge.I am not savvy enough to follow the different instructions on how to take it off!. Thanks again.

Do a system restore and choose a restore point a few day's ago.

[ghillies 209]

reinstall...

 

first thing do defrag..if it takes ages it really needed it, so do it twice.(right click your harddrive in my computer, properties)

next the scan disc might or should ask if you want to do it the next time you reboot/start up on win 7... reboot and sit n wait.

 

after that..its reinstal, if it was your HD or memery etc it usealy craps out or shows the blue screen of death lol, you'll recognise it. if you have a grafix card in, most pc's just switch to the mother board grafix if its broke..

 

sheesh take it to a shop? must be made of money lol.

 

 

heres the secret..shhhhh move closer, i'll wisper it... click format, when its dun pop in the windows disc, click next.. next..full reinstall..next, finish ok. fiffy quid please sir..owch.

 

same with 90 percent of the programs. if you get a copy of accronis (with the money for paying the shop) your sorted.

 

worth a try?

 

 

a ps added in, you'll need asecond drive to put the copy from accronis on..after that its literally a case of putting the disk in, reboot whilste tabbing f11 or which ever f key it is on your pc, and locate the file and click go sort of thing. or you can even install acronis onto your pc and do it directly

Yes I tried to undo my mistake this morning I fetched up System restore picked a previous date marked in heavy type and it said it was unable to do so!. as for the B***Y AVG removal its still chuntering on even though I managed to get it as far as uninstall its now been running for over half an hour and its still not gone away. I will try system restore once more, Thanks everyone.

[ghillies 209]

when did you last defrag? the drive gets 'clogged' untill everything starts going rong, then just gets worse and worse... it basicaly tidies up all the stray program lines and puts its tidy again.

 

sounds like it may need 2 or three lol. after 1 defrag it should work better..

Have you tried right clicking on your desktop screen and tried altering the screen rezolution..

 

1280 x 1024 is recommended.

I have just come back on after trying twice more to restore to two different restore days, IE the first and the seventh of August. Each time it has gone through its sytem I E blue lines then shutting down then comes back on then states "Unable to restore" Hrrm, I think I will take it in tomorow to Midland Computers, their repair charges by the way are £60.00 per hour! Deep gloom again, Thanks guys.

By "scrolling" I'm assuming your using a browser? IE, Chrome, Firefox ect.

 

It could be that you have inadvertanly removed something, a reinstall of the affected browser could solve the issue.

 

Also an update of Java and flash could help.
