Which F Key to refomat?

Hi all,

I've asked this before but which key is it upon start up to re-format? I'll remember this time :lol:. Can't seem to find previous posts on this type of forum 😕

Thanks Lisa

Nevermind i found out (f10 for anyone needing this info) I got myself all worked up and angry and the Vista one showed some sort of previous part which I didn't reconise and thought I was hitting the wrong key, when I was right all along (ugh!)

Just another Q. How do I leave all the preinstalled crap off the comp? The norton, trailers etc. Do I exit when it asks about application recovery? This..

Thanks.
Lisa

Yes just don't do the Application Recovery - click Cancel.

You will be prompted to install the Applications at each boot unless you stop it by going to Start, click on Run and enter MSCONFIG. The System Configurtation Window should open, click the Startup tab and deselect VARU.exe, then click Apply and OK....

Thanks for that. Reformatted and at that stage now although the VARU is not there for some reason, what do I do now?

Thanks,

Do you get a prompt to install the Applications?

If No - forget about it.
If Yes - have a look in Scheduled Tasks.
