I don't really want to just download software I'd like to buy one from like best buy or something, but I want my computer to be just like it was when I first bought it, none of my information left on it or anything. What is best? The only thing I can find is wipedriver 5.0...
Oh and I don't have my start up disks so I can't use that. I want to sell my computer, what is the best software to clear everything off of it so it runs like new?
You can contact the manufacturer for a restore disk, which is usually cheaper than the alternatives.
I would recommend formatting the drive (if the restore disc will work after a clean format) to help clear your data off of it, or using a stronger wiping software that will re-write incoherent data overtop of yours, and then reinstalling the computer operating system with the restore disk.
You can also sometimes find restore disks for common makes of computers on Ebay, just make sure it is for the correct model. I want to sell my computer, what is the best software to clear everything off of it so it runs like new?
Get yourself a knoppix CD and run DD on your hard drive:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M
where /dev/hda is the correct unix device :-)
Wipe Drive 5 is the best tool to do the job, I recommend you use that!!!

How to clear start up password on computer?
I got a computer and when I turn on the computer before windows loads or anything there is a prompt for passwordHow to clear start up password on computer?
Startup passwords are most likely set in the BIOS setup screen. This means that if you can't get to BIOS setup without entering a password, then you have to clear the BIOS settings via the motherboard. Assuming this is not a Laptop, use Google to find out what type of motherboard you have, find the manufacturer's website and the manual for the motherboard. It will tell you which jumper to pull for bios password reset.How to clear start up password on computer?
Well thats there.. If you didn't put it there, and it was like that. Then it can't be taken off, but if you put it there, then you should know how to take it off.

How can I fix a picture i found on computer to blow up big and clear?
I found some pictures on the computer which I save for a school project but it is small and i want to blow it up bigger. The problem is when I blow the pics up they become blurry. How can I fix the mega pixels on it to make it clear...if that is correctHow can I fix a picture i found on computer to blow up big and clear?
do you have any image editors? then you could resize the pixels or inches to not make blurry.
irfanview was a free viewer and it could resizeHow can I fix a picture i found on computer to blow up big and clear?
that is going to be a little hard, you might need some specialized software that can take a small picture and make it bigger without loss of quality. But it is very difficult to do without it.

Is there any computer program that can make blurry pictures to clear ones?
I have this blurry photo, I want to make it into a clear one. How can I do so on my computer?Is there any computer program that can make blurry pictures to clear ones?
It is really hard to correct poor photography, although there are some methods to improve it.
Most can only be done in a program called ';Photoshop'; which costs a pretty penny. Another similar program is called Gimp.
There may be software that comes with your computer, basic photo studios that allow you to correct blur a bit.Is there any computer program that can make blurry pictures to clear ones?
im sorry 4 being late and i saw that your question was not resolved. i DO NOT know why Yahoo resolved your question when IT was not answered........
Yes you can make a photo better (sharper). Yes you can use a program (software) to do this. Yes you DO NOT have to purchase expensive photoshop (ev
Two opensource programs come to mind (works on all platform OS - Linux, Mac, and that other one)
Gervais - answered on for you GimpShop- gimpshop.com
(gimp with photoshop menus)
second is Gimp - gimp.org
Nope. That's science fiction that you see on TV and movies.
You can try sizing the picture down (ie resize) and applying a Gaussian blur in Photoshop (or something similar), but it will not be ';clear.'; It might get slightly better.
there's picasa 3, photoscape, photo plus se, gimp, adobe photoshop album starter edition and lots more. u just search for it on the net. i haven't tried any of these by the way, i just use hp photosmart premiere.

Nope. Just re-subscribe.
Yes you should ';uninstall Norton'; and all symantic programs in Add and Remove Programs in Control Panel.
AVG and AVAST are top rated Antivirus programs and they are both free.
You should also be using an Anti SPYWARE program like AD-Aware 2007 and SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.5
bill
Remove it threw add and remove programs in the Control Panel, You can then search google for AVG FREE and it will be free and work much better.
Most Definately! Norton is a useless antivirus product, and im speaking as an ex employee of theirs!
You CAN pay to renew it, but if you remove it and download AVG Free edition from:

You will get a much better antivirus solution for free with no expiration
