Restoring a Windows computer

If you have a working network card after reinstalling, it goes pretty smothly.

Once it is installed, go to 'windows update' and do all the updates. Skip ahead to the service pack 2 update if you can, that will save some time.

Update -> reboot -> update -> repeat until it says you are all updated.

Then you might want to go to the websites of various devices you have, and get the latest drivers from them (video card, sound card, etc). There are cases where an older driver is sometimes better, but usually that isn't the case.
