how can i restore my pc to its earliest state without any programs installed without having to reformat it because it takes a while istalling again motherboard drivers and anti virus. thanks guys!
If you open the Control Panel, go to Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall everything you don't want, that should do it, but it would take nearly as long as a format + install. I installed Windows XP SP2 and it only took 40 minutes, and I didn't have to sit there clicking all that time, like you would have to doing it that way
if you have your xp install disk put it in your dvdrom drive and restart your system and when you are booting up keep taping f8 and you can do everything from there much easer from there
