gregrocker, I don't this disk. I didn't buy the windows 7 install disk, I bought an entire new computer that had Windows 7 already installed on it. The only disk that came with is so if the computer fully stops working and I can't even log it then I could use that disk and that will wipe out everyhting on my computer and reinstall the system to what it was at start when I bought the computer. I will have to backup everything on my computer and use that other disk. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

If you can locate or borrow a Windows 7 install DVD for your version, then you can run the Repair Install.
What are the exact problems you're having? They might be related to the pre-installed bloatware which came with the computer and will be reinstalled by the Recovery DVD's you have- unless you were lucky to get a Windows 7 Install DVD, in which case it should run the Repair Install if you put it in the drive while in Windows 7.
