Default Re: a noob question about computers getting worn out

Most Dells should have a built in recovery or come with a recovery cd. Try tapping F12 right after you turn on your computer. You should choose destructive recovery, this will go through the recovery process and restore your computer back to how it was the day when you bought it (so make sure you back up all your data first). If the F12 doesn't work, your machine should have come with a CD that you insert into the PC then reboot. It will go through the same process as the F12, so make sure you backup your data.
