Tip submitted by SebastianWhite<\/em><\/p>\n

Near “fool proof” procedure for repairing XP Operating System<\/h3>\n

As the cliche poverty-stricken writer, I do not have much in the way of money…<\/p>\n

So over the years I have taught myself, and designed a system for avoiding having to spend considerable money on repairs! In fact, because my computer is often on from 7am ish to late… I used to pay out \u00a3100’s of each year on these! Additionally, I found 4\/5 technicians were not actually that good, and you are better usually doing it yourself in any case!<\/p>\n

Nevertheless with a computer that is around 8 years old, and only cost around \u00a3120 originally – I have not had to take my computer to a technician, for around 4\/5 years I expect. Over the years, I have developed the following system (which as now I am getting a new comp, may become unneccessary for myself – hopefully!) in any case, each one of these steps are placed in priority order, and take a path of commencing with the least invasive – to through experience I have found most promising results:<\/p>\n

Hope they help, I just thought rather than dismissing these entirely, they may just help someone!!!<\/p>\n

Obviously the last resort is fully reinstalling the entire software, but I do believe the steps will not only save money, but have proven to save much time.<\/p>\n

Steps to Troubleshoot and Resolve Comp Issues
\nand Avoid Full Reinstall:<\/p>\n

From the least Invasive to larger More Comprehensive Steps.<\/p>\n

1)\t Run Correction Programmes:<\/p>\n

i)\t Anti \u2013 Spyware
\nii)\t Anti \u2013 Virus
\niii)\t Reg Fixes.
\niv)\t Run Malware Bytes. Particularly good free programme, able to download from Hippo<\/p>\n

2)\t Fixes problems on the whole on Re \u2013 start, if selected: <\/p>\n

Start
\nMy Computer
\nProperties
\nTools
\nCheck Now
\nTick both boxes
\nThen Start <\/p>\n

3)\t Disk Defragment.
\nMy Computer
\nProperties
\nTools
\nCheck the second box here \u2013 Disk Defragment.<\/p>\n

4) Run Progs fix: (Put in Window\u2019s XP Disc!)<\/p>\n

Start
\nRun
\nSFC (leave one space here)\/SCANNOW (do not forget forward\/slash before SCANNOW)<\/p>\n

5) System Restore to an earlier date:<\/p>\n

Start
\nAll Programmes
\nAccessories
\nSystem Tools
\nSystem Restore – (choose a date, that is the most recent first \u2013 before the change you believe caused the problems!)<\/p>\n

6) Possibly turn off system restore, and do a virus scan. <\/p>\n

Beware you will lose your restore points, if you follow this course of action, but virus have been know to be caught up in this mechnism, so as a last resort – it is worth turning it off perhaps and scanning.<\/p>\n

7) Windows XP \u2013 Repair:<\/p>\n

Backup & save all My Documents and Word Prog\u2019s to memory sticks.
\nSave any Documents on the desktop, such as maps and info.
\nSave AOL PFC & Favourites if necessary.
\nSave all Drivers on Driver Max if possible for easy reinstall.<\/p>\n

See instructions but select the 2nd repair option – on placing the Windows disc in, and switching to safe F5 mode.<\/p>\n

7)\tFull reinstall of windows XP\u2026 see instructions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
