Back to Factory Settings
« on: October 12, 2009, 09:33:09 AM »
Heres the story:

I have a compaq presario notebook CQ40 310 AU, AMD turion x2 bla bla bla that comes with windows vista starter pack.

Then my windows update started to fail and I cant seem to install an update, even though I have more than enough space on my drive C

and then lately I am being pestered with errors about dll being not found whenever I open the windows explorer or any other folders.

The built in webcam also does not work and will instantly send an error about dll again when opened.

So, Ive restored my pc to its factory settings using the blue recovery dvd, windows vista starter

and now tha dll errors are gone and my drivers are gone with it  ::)

now everything is in a state of a mess!!

Ive tried going here to install some drivers

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3873043&

but still, something is missing, I should have had a backup.

the scroll part of my touchpad does not work, my drive D is not listed


Now I have not yet restarted after installing the drivers. I Think that I could deal with this tommorow, its kinda late here. I just wanna know If I messed up big time or if it is possible to fix these problems.

any suggestions? solutions? .. any help would do.

Use the Driver CD that shipped with the machine.
