So you re-installed Windows (from the computer's image) perfectly clean (removing your entire previous file system) and with this clean system, you then installed IE7; Firefox; set up your email again (and who's knows what else (ie Antivirus)
And then it faulted?
This all doesn't sound right
Is this what you did ?
If not, it may be best to do this (and backup first and user data)
ive found what i was looking for on c-net, it was my drivers about 12 of them. i ran a driver fixer and it found the drivers not working on my pc. a pci bridge, a usb 2.0 enhanced host controler, quite a few of them,pci soft modem, and so forth. so far its working pretty good.im running AVG virus and so far says its clean.

thanks kim for all your help, i reinstalled through windows this time and still having problems shutting down and getting a faliure to connect in facebook.com. ive sent for a cd so i guess i will just have to wait. but thanks anyway for your help and support. God Bless and a friend for life.
That's not real clear
I think you're saying you re-imaged with the Hp restore disk (or boot menu restore)
I asked you if Windows Update is now working
Obviously yes, if you re-installed Windows (please note HP is not an OS, even the image is Windows)
Hp just brand just about everything on Windows (ie HP Help), I'm not sure why MS even allowed it.
The first thing I do whenever I see a HP computer is turn off the hundreds of HP startups and entries all over the place. Most of the HP users can't believe how fast it is without all these Services; Starups; Updates; Tasks; Links and lots lots more removed !
Maybe start here, if you want to make Windows, Windows again! : http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm
