Will look for a recovery disk when i get in. Only found the Vista box and disc so far.
Good point on the restore though, might try that and see if one has been set by the guys that made the PC. If they set one after testing and before shipping them I'm in luck
btw how do I get Vista to stop asking questions every 2 mins ? have expertview installed and every startup I get asked if I want to let it run. Any options to switch it off or a box to tick to say run everytime ?
sorry for being a pita, will get the hang of things eventually.
