If you do decide to start again, you're better off borrowing a Windows 7 disc and starting from scratch, as the recovery partition puts on all kinds of junk as well.	pcuser42 (130)

If you're going to back up whatever, you can only save docs / emails. You'll have to reinstall whatever programs (apart from what the restore partition restores) again Get ccleaner and see if that can uninstall all of the AV programs except one of them	Speedy Gonzales (78)

I don't actually have that much stuff I want to save in terms of documents etc (maybe 15 gigs or so), and programs can be easily retrieved. Anyone have an idea of how I can sort out my sound, incorrect system tray icons and various class not registered errors? Or would it be a better idea to borrow a Windows 7 disc/boot from the recovery partition?	nzhnp (15944)

WHAT exactly is giving this error? Incorrect system tray icons like what?? WHAT's wrong with the sound?? Doesn't it work?	Speedy Gonzales (78)

WHAT exactly is giving this error? Incorrect system tray icons like what?? WHAT's wrong with the sound?? Doesn't it work? I'm not sure I can do a clean install - I don't have a disc of my own, one didn't come with my laptop, and I'm not going to buy a new one when this computer is still on Flexirent. A lot of things are giving the errors - such as Windows Photo Viewer, Microsoft Security Essentials (when I try to update), and a few others which I can't remember at this point in time. In the system tray... my wireless signal icon has a cross beside it, but nothing seems to be wrong with it. My network icon says it's not connected to anything and there's nothing to connect to, but when I click on it, I'm connected to my wireless router fine. There's also the Action Center icon - I can't open it (clicking on "open action center" brings nothing), but there are various messages like Turn on Windows Defender - can you do that with MSE installed? And clicking on the messages brings up the little clock, and then nothing. As for sound... the hardware is there, in Device Manager, and says it's working fine. It says the drivers are up to date, so won't install anything new there. But no sound is coming out - it's not even showing up as levels when I have the volume tab open.	nzhnp (15944)

You should be able to create the dvd / cd's if its got a restore partition. Only thing is the crap that came with it will be back on the hdd lol. Like I said the other day I can check it out with teamviewer, if its on the net	Speedy Gonzales (78)

If you selected ALL without looking at the entries bought up, you may have deleted a whole section of the Registry, which could explain the behavior you are experiencing. I suspect a reinstall is the only way to fix this. Hope you have your data backed up.	PPp (9511)
