Where can i get what i need back?! I am running windows XP and i had my computer specifically made for me, not from dell or anything. i actually just had it upgraded ready for oblivion. Please help me
follow these instructions, i'll make it BASIC as possible:
1) turn on the computer. wait for dos prompt and xp initiater to load up using the manual configuration the factory installs (In English - DO NOTHING)
2) Once windows (prompt start up) loads proberly, you should be in your familiar desktop environment...using the mouse, direct the pointer toward the 'Internet Explorer' Icon, BUT, before you do so.........
3) before exerting pressure on the 'mouse' in TWO quick successions on 'IE' icon, it is PERATIVE that you connect to the Internet...
(and NOOO!!! AOL is NOT the Internet)
4) Now, double click, and the homepage that is configured will open up. at this point, go the to address bar, and click ONCE. then back space, and type in the address of a search engine...........such as.......
www.google.com
or
www.yahoo.com
5) then type something that 'matches' you inquiry...you are looking for COMPUTER help...type is something like, Computer dash, Forums....
Search: Computer Forum
6) EITHER, hit enter, or click on, where is says search...
7) browse the appropriate forum, and become a member...
8) introduce yourself to the forum
9) thread your question.........
10) and wait for responses...............
