Hi guys just been given a laptop foc but how do i remove the unwanted programs off it please

Click to expand...

START - Control panel - Add/remove programs

Do one at a time.

also to remove start up programs that you dont need and make your comp run quicker:

Start - Run - type "msconfig" and press enter. Go to start up and deselect most of the programs. (if you have vista type "msconfig" into the start search bit)

thanks mate but havent got add or remove programs ?

Start -> Run

type CMD

then type

PCCHATTERISNOTFORTHEMX5/ROADSTERFORUMSECTION.EXE

press enter.

download revo uninstaller, and that is far better than the windows add/remove.

But if you have the money just pave and repath, ie format and reinstall from new, you will be thankful in months to come

As DC said, might be worth getting someone with IT experience to have a look. If you haven't got any mates that can help, I'd say just pay someone to do it (I've got a good contact if you're anywhere near Cambridge).

I use a laptop and desktop PC every day for my work, but know almost nothing about computers...

pay?
pay?

ill do it for nothing if you're near cambridge and you've got an install disk for windows - you will be expected to show me your car though

Ha ha, yes I know it's an alien concept for some people, but he did get the lappy free for Gawd's sake!

Format c:\ (press enter)
