| 1328812 | 2013-02-20 23:16:00 | Also, why are you reinstalling Windows? You may have a few other options you could take if we understand what you are trying to do. Compared to the other Windows 7 computers in my household (running on similar hardware), mine is a lot slower and a lot buggier than theirs. Windows Explorer in particular is super slow, and crashes seemingly every five minutes. Run a virus scan, run a spybot scan, even run a Nod32 online scan, all came up clean. Uninstalled all uncrucial programs, still no change. In short, I think a reinstall will be easiest, and most likely to get results. Yep, download from digital river, burn .iso and away you go. Links on this site from dell (but that doesn't matter) en.community.dell.com Sweet, that looks like the way to go. |

It's not compatible / or its buggy If ccleaner is installed run it go to tools / startup / context menu. Disable the entries here one by one, and you may find out whats causing it |

| 1328815 | 2013-02-21 02:28:00 | If you want put teamviewer on it and I'll have a quick look Tempting, but I've got all my data backed up, so I'm going to bite the bullet and reinstall, which will definitely fox my problem. Thanks though :) |

Do the other computers not have Win7 media either? |

| 1328820 | 2013-02-21 08:19:00 | Just relating to that linked site for the ISO's- I'd suggest you use a download manager of some kind, something like freedownloadmanager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/) - the reason for suggesting, I had to try and find a Vista X64 OEM today - got every other damn versions of MS OS's here apart from the one I wanted - the same Dell site had the ones I wanted for a customers Dell PC, but they kept on stopping :mad: Original file size was just over 3GB - by the time I finally got it via the download manager it cost me close to 8GB of data usage. < insert swear words> :angry |

| 1328821 | 2013-02-21 19:31:00 | As far as I can tell it downloaded fine first time. Final download was around 3.3gbs, which is as large as it should be. Wonder why Windows OS's are so damn large? No Linux Distro had been over 2gb, and most under 1 - and they include stuff like Libre Office. |
