Trying to rescue my old laptop!!

TheGiggsLady

Thanks for all the help with my PC, now running fine. I am now trying to revivre my old Acer Aspire 3500. It is about 7 years old and I have replaced the motherboard as the old one was cracked. Everything seems to be working ok other than it keeps freezing and takes a long time to do anything when you click the mouse. All the programs are running ok and I can connect wirelessley to the internet although it gets interrupted. It is like the computer forgets what it is doing!!
I have run the full Malware bytes, no infections found. I have run Hijack this, here is the log:

First thing id suggest (especially with a new motherboard and assuming you can) is format and reinstall XP

TheGiggsLady

I was going to do that but the Product key is was on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop and it is too worn to read, I did buy a set of recovery CD's from ebay. Would these work or do I still need to reinstall XP separately?

aliEnRIK

Magicjellybean (Im not making this up ) should tell you your product key ~

TheGiggsLady

Hi, where do you find these websites??? I have tried the demo version but the information is hidden, Do I need to pay the $24.95 or is there somewhere else I can try first?

aliEnRIK

Im unable to try myself where I am. Hopefully someone else can help in the meantime

Belarc advisor will find product key as well, get it here http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

TheGiggsLady

Thanks I now have the product key, I have printed off all the info from Belarc that it found in case I need it!

Easy on the Toolbars this time. Do you have a suitable disc? Pro or Home?

TheGiggsLady

Hi, Just wanted to say thanks again for all your help, I now have a pc and my old Acer laptop up and running. My husband now thinks I'm a computer expert, we'll just keep it as our little secret!!!

You had erecovery running, which suggests a recovery partition is present, which is the fastest way to restore to factory settings without a CD.
