Windows installer

If the computer didn't come with a set of recovery discs it may have a recovery partition. At worst you can use this to restore the computer to the factory condition.
A recovery partition should be mentioned in the documentation that came with the machine.

I have a system restore in my system in control panel.
Should i try that? and will i lose all my photo's etc?

[Deerpark]

System restore is not the same, but it may actually work. In order for it to work you should select a restore point dated before your problems started.
It shouldn't touch your personal files, but it is always a good idea to backup anything important before doing something like this.

How do i go about this?
Will i just select restore!

[Deerpark]

Yeah try system restore and see if it has a restore point that is dated before your problems began.
But I recommend you backup anything you don't want to loose. Like I said it shouldn't touch your personal files, but you can never be entirely certain.
