The machine never came with an original windows disc

I had it built for me &

was installed when i bought it.

[Advertisements]

I had an emachine previously but it broke and the tech that built my new machine norton ghosted windows from that

the emachine didn't have a windows disc either though it had a built in restore in a partition

i dont think this machine does though.

I do have a registered version of windows on this machine and a product key sticker on the back of the machine
youv'e got me worried now . .

Ahh, we are in a pickle here aren't we.

Lets see if re-registering jscript makes any difference.

Go to Start, then Run and copy and paste in: regsvr32 jscript.dll /s then hit enter.

It wont appear to do anything, but that is normal. Now open a command window again, by going to Start, then Run and typing in cmd then hitting enter.

Now in the command window, type in java -fullversion and hit enter.

Lets see whether java is now recognised.

[Emma_uk]

no its exactly same as before

[RatHat]

OK, let me look into this some more and see if I can figure it out.

Don't worry about your windows version, it is valid, but if you could phone the tech and ask him if he created a backup of the system installation files it might be helpful.

[Emma_uk]

Is there anyway i can dl windows from somewhere. as you say my licence is valid ?

i really could do with a restore disc for this machine any way of making one ?

[Emma_uk]

spoke to tech . he has not got any backups of this machine , not the most reliable guy in the world

[Emma_uk]

i have found a disc marked recovery fatal1ty

dont know if it has windows on it though

it has 2 ghost files on it

[RatHat]

You cannot download another version of windows, it would require a new license. The tech who built the computer should be able to build you a restore disk, and windows has it's own built in system restore too.

By the way, when you go to Start, Settings then Control Panel, do you have the Java Icon (coffee cup)?

[Emma_uk]

cant get settings from start

start then control panel i have java console, cant see any coffee cup though

[Emma_uk]

in view on control panel i have java console

[RatHat]

Could you take a screenshot for me?

[Emma_uk]

There ya go
