I have an HP Laptop with Windows Vista. I have had problems with spyware and viruses and such and now the thing runs slowly in whatever i am doing. How do i restore to original factory settings?
I understand there may be "better" solutions, but i really don't mind restoring to original settings and losing all the data on the disk. I've already backed up all my important files i want to save.
