How can you remove infected restore archive files if they are write-protected?

If you are referring to the System Restore feature in Windows ME/XP then this is how you can do it:

The easiest would be to simply disable System Restore, reboot, and then enable it again. This should remove the files.

Or you could do this manually:

1) Use a boot disk and boot to DOS.

2) Go to C:\System_Restore (I think this is the location)

3) Simply delete all the files in there. You don't want to leave any since all the files are dependent on each other, and deleting just some will leave a corrupted Restore set.

To do it automatically, go to the Control Panel. (Click on Start> Settings> Control Panel). Then navigate to System. When the window appears click on System Restore. Pick a drive and click Settings. Then simply navigate the amount of space to use to the minimum. Or of course you can turn of System Restore then reboot, then turn it back on, this should also remove the files.

Why is my computer slower after reinstalling my operating system to fix an issue with blue screens?

When rebooting, press F2. When in setup, scroll down to onboard devices click enter then down to flash cache module should say enabled turn that off then scroll up to sata operation and choose ATA then exit and save and try to reboot this worked for me. At worst case scenario, you can always change it back.

Another answer:

When you reinstall the operating system, you likely won't have all of the drivers. Microsoft supplies some default drivers to get the machine to work at all, but they likely won't recognize features specific to your machine. So you would need to make sure you have all the manufacturers' drivers installed. For instance, the default video driver will likely only give you limited colors and slow graphics, with only software support for DirectX, and no acceleration. So you'd need the video driver from the manufacturer to unlock its features and improve its performance. There are also motherboard or "platform" drivers, storage device drivers, etc., and they may need to be installed to improve performance.

Also, once you reinstall the OS, you will likely need to tweak it again. Windows enables a lot of options to improve appearance by default. So if you don't need animated dialog icons, font smoothing, mouse smoothing, and other things of that sort, you can disable them and increase the perception of speed.

How many popular picture file types are there for computers What are the advantages and disadvantages In your opinion which do you find the best?

In all honesty, there are too many picture formats to count. Each format has it's own pros and cons to it. Usually, it depends on the need for pictures in order to determine which format should be used.

JPEG - Most common, good quality, very small file size, saving a JPEG many times will lessen the quality of photos, most compatible

Bitmap (BMP) - very basic and are slowly being replaced, not compressed, could be very large

PNG - not fully compatible with windows, mainly used in Macs, can store transparency, very high quality, I don't believe that it is compressed.

GIF - very small, lower quality, only 256 colors, mainly used online

RAW - very high quality, not very commonly used, not compressed, very large file sizes

TIFF - same as RAW but smaller file sizes, best used with edited photos when quality and zoom are factors

Koala - only works with certain software, hardly compatible, little known about this format, is still very new

These are just some of the many formats. Personally, I use JPEGs for everything on my Windows PC but I do use PNGs when I'm saving photos with transparent sections.
