This is the third time you've posted this identical message in three
different newsgroups. Next time, don't multipost; crosspost judiciously
instead. Here's a link explaining that:

You got answers to all three posts that basically say the same thing:
Format the drive and clean install Windows. Install drivers and programs
from installation media.
If you didn't get a way to return the operating system to factory
condition - keypress (like HP's F10), Restore Disk, or actual operating
system CD - go back to the seller. If you can't go back to the seller,
then your second-hand computer was not a bargain since you will need to
buy the operating system of your choice at the store.
Until you have a clean install on that machine, you can't continue the
troubleshooting. If the machine has problems with a clean install, then
look to the hardware as being at fault.
