Hi,
Please could someone help me before my BF kills me please. He has a Samsung N130 Netbook and he kept complaining that it was really slow so I tried to help him by deleting some programmes and other things.
I have been a complete idiot and deleted "Samsung PC Studio" I thought it was the programme from when he used to have a Samsung mobile but it turns out it wasn't.
Nothing on the Netbook works properly now - I tried to do a system restore and it won't let me click on next.
If you try and open internet or other programmes it just brings up the properties box???
I know I am an idiot
