Question by ♥bigmamma♥: Simple step by step (for dummies) for fixing my computer w/ lots of problems……?
Runs extremely slow!!! Takes up to 5 min to open/close window. Also get lots of pop-up from like “movie tickets” “great jobs” “online singles” “win $ 5,000 a week for life”, LOTS from WinAntiVirus & Win Int Exp “if comp running slower than normal, download WinAntiVirus Pro FREE” Also control, alt, delete woun’t work. People have gave me some suggestions, but some are too complicated to follow?! (for me!) I’ve tried using foxfire instead of Windows IE, I tried system restore, I tried running Cox (cable provider) antivirus scans, ad-adware personal scans, etc….. What can I do to make it run like it used to & stop all these pop-up windows that take forever to close!!! If you suggest downloading a program, let me know if it’s safe to use w/ ad-adware personal & my cox cable internet security suite (free antivirus program from cable/internet provider)

Insert windows CD ROM, restart the computer, wait until it says “press any key to boot from CD”, press a key. Delete all partitions, create a new one, install windows on that partition. You’ll have to follow the directions.
Or the short answer: REFORMAT
