Should i restore my computer?

you can restore and depending on how your restore program is set up depends on what options are available. There are two general options, Factory Reset and Windows Restore. The factory option will delete all previous data, the Window restore should preserve your data and just refresh the Windows installation. the best option is the factory reset as that will give you the best performance but assumes you can back up what you need. If you don't have a big enough storage device then burn the data to CD or DVD.

System restore in my experience is good i have recently done a System restore and all it does is clean you computer of all the programs through you clean it out you can still Access anything from a program through you can run the program you can still get any thing from it through computer>hard drive>windows old(ex.if i have a video on windows movie maker it work run movie maker but will allow you to get the movie)and you wont lose any pics, vid ,docs ,or music ext.

Choose to reinstall windows and it will offer the option to keep all documents, music and photos. Hope i helped!

If you reformat your hard drive and don't back anything up you will lose it. Have you tried just def ragging your hard drive? Click on my computer, right click the drive, click on properties, tools, de fragment. Good luck.
