I have a Dell Dimension 2350 and I want to restore it back to factory settings because it is running way too slow. I have already tried Ctrl + F11 but I have been told that this does not apply to this computer. I also have reinstalled Windows XP from the disc without any results. Does anyone know how to do a factory restore for this model?

restart ur computer and go into BIOS and set default setting and then format ur computer

I will try that in a little bit, I am in the middle of reinstalling windows xp for the second time, lol. Thanks for answering. I will post back with updates.

I finished reinstalling windows xp and I think it is going to work this time. I will let you know what happens after I update everything.

Just make sure you source out latest drivers, as from memory different XP service-packs did break a few drivers along the way.
