My advice is to not spend one penny on this computer. Unless you have upgraded it then it has only 256 MB of Ram, a slow Sempron processor, a small 300 watt power supply, small 80 GB hard drive, and it is running Windows XP which is an out of date operating system. Spend your money on a brand new Windows 7 computer and sell this one for scrap. You can get a computer that is 10 times better than this one for around $500.

Emachines usually gives you restore disk to restore it to factory setting (out-of-the box). see if you can find that disk if not you can contact Emachines and get it from them. it should not be too expensive just shipping could be part of expanse. i would say about $25. i would call emachines and get it from them

Back up all of your photos, documents, folders, files, favorites (bookmarks) and anything else you would like to keep and reinstall after the system recovery. Use a CD, DVD, flash drive, MP3 or external hard drive to store your data temporarily.
Click on the "System Recovery" icon (usually found within the start menu) and begin the process by following the on-screen prompts.
Click on "restore" and note the warnings about losing all of your data. Wait for the computer to complete the process of erasing the hard drive and creating a new partition.
Insert the emachines recovery disk in the CD tray when prompted. This will start the process. There are usually one or two disks involved and the computer will let you know which ones to insert when and will even eject the tray automatically in most cases. You may have to restart at least three times, do not be alarmed by this and keep the disk in until you are prompted otherwise.

Example of Windows Installation Install Windows on the new partition and follow the prompts on your screen. Be sure to choose the largest partition, the one with the most kb available. There are usually two to choose from, as you have deleted the other ones in the steps prior.
Reinstall all of your backed up data and any software programs you are currently using, including the printer and Internet, if needed. Be sure all of your drivers and hardware is working properly, as they have been reinstalled as well during the recovery procedure. OR

1. Place the recovery disk that came with the eMachines computer into the CD or DVD drive. Restart the computer.
   
   Click "Next" when the operating system restoration screen appears. Click "Repair Your Computer" and then select "Next."
   
   Locate your eMachine's current operating system in the list of available operating systems, such as "Windows Vista." Click the appropriate choice and then choose "Next."
   
   Select "Load Drivers" and wait for the drivers to finish installing. Select "System Restore" and then click "Next."
   
   Scroll down through the list of available restore points. Select the first restore point if you want to completely revert the computer to factory settings. Select a later restore point if you just want to roll back any changes to your computer to an earlier date.
   
   Click "Next" and then select "Finish." Click "Yes" and then choose "Restart" to restore the eMachines computer.

unfortunately I have had more than one customer who has had to call up to 4 times to get someone who can help. If that is the first person you spoke with, call back and ask someone again, according to the specs this PC came with WinXP Home, which is not considered ancient yet, and I know They do have restore sets for this model.
If you have access to another PC try to order them online yourself through their website

Your machine has two ways of repair: SYSTEM RESTORE and SYSTEM RECOVERY. System restore is a Windows utility that rolls the machine back to a point where the machine worked before the problem. System recovery is an eMachines tool that puts the machine back the way it was when you first got it. Restore wont delete your data, recovery will and can. If the problem is catastrophic, and youve backed up your data off of the machine, use the recovery option. Your recovery partition (or a recovery disk) is needed to do this, and it involves pressing a key while the computer boots up. Check your documentation for your model of machine.

I suggest finding the specific drivers that he deleted. Typically, when a computer begins to get slow, either 1 of 3 problems occur. 1. The drivers are insufficiently up to date. 2. There's too much clutter on the hard disk, RAM, and CPU. Lastly, driver files and start up files get deleted. The best way to fix that slow problem is downloading the driver files.

Alot of manufactures will include restore disks. If the model above is your model it should have come with them. However if you don't have them anymore you will need to order them from the manufacture either on-line or over the phone. Hope this helps.
