I need some opinions....  Long story short, my pc is not working right.  Had to reconnect cables after moving furniture and took forever to be able to get online.  Finally had to turn off firewall.  A couple of weeks ago the windows screen came on, but it would never load.  Then this crazy screen started scrolling saying things like"orphaned files, corrupted files, etc."  It seemed to repair itself.  I have never been able to download any windows updates, and not a tech around can help me with that...

 

I have another firewall operating now, as well as my virus protection.  I have always kept those things up to date!

 

So after trying to restore on my own(would not do it, window message said it could not be done), the dell tech said that I could simply go back and restore to the factory settings.  Not too excited about this, had to do it once before when we first got the pc...had the dreaded "blue screen", but it did work at that point.

 

I had to create another user for my son because he could not get on his current user profile at all...it would never load for some reason.

 

I have 173 days left on the warranty...any suggestions, or anyone with similar problems?

 

Thanks!
