How do I do that. I dont have internet connection on it, but I went to control panel, then system, then restore, but there was nothing there to click.

Start > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
'Restore my computer to an earlier time'
Try setting it back a week or so to see if it fixes your problem. Or you can restore to the earliest date possible. Is this because of the images not animating or is there another issue?

If you cant do a rollback, then you have some serious issues I have a feeling. Best bet, get all your stuff off of there, and then do a fully system format (I have more info on that) which will completely erase your hard drive, which will allow you to put a brand new spankin copy of windows on there. It will resolve your issue

where did you buy the computer at? i know you said you dont have any disks, but for factory systems that is the best thing, since those disks will restore to the point in which you purchased it, drivers and all.

thats not something standard, because I have several HPs here at work and i dont see a restore partition. it is a possibility though, Dells come with a utility partition for diagnostics.

Be careful letting an old hard drive out of your hands. I have software that can still read old deleted files even after a format. You can download free utilities that will write 1s and 0' over and over and over to make it harder for someone to retrieve the info. In my opinion, it's not worth the risk unless you personally know the guy.

Buy a new hard drive for the one you are selling and load Windows to it but first pull the old one out.

Well, I put it on Craigslist for sale, and someone wanted to buy it from me. Should I not do it?

thats because when you delete files on a computer they dont actually get 'removed,' rather the HD is told there is no data there when there really is. when we retire hard drives here i take them to the shop and they put em under a drill press. only sure way to get rid of a HD.
