I recently posted in the sound/audio forum and got some help from Stormy concerning my audio drivers, and he suggested a system restore. I set it for yesterday morning (which was before I had all the problems I am having currently). My computer has been running system restore for almost 2 hours now, and I think its stuck. The monitor shows nothing, it is black. Is there anything that can be done?
Hello fatwalrus, welcome to Seven Forums!
Do you have a proper Windows 7 install disk or a Windows 7 created repair disk?
I'll check for a CD, but if I don't have it, you're sure its alright to cool kill it? I really dont want to mess up my system...
EDIT: Cannot locate disk, is it necessary? And I would like to system restore...my drivers are a little tweaked and need to be reverted back to what they were orginially
The odds are pretty good you're going to have issues as it is now, hence the question about the disk. If you don't have one have a look at the tutorial at the link below.
How to Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc
How to Run a Startup Repair in Windows 7
Alright, I'll follow the link, so should I just turn it off right now? I hate doing it...
Okay, so this system repair fixes all startup problems, will I be able to fix my drivers if all goes according to plan, then use system restore after it? My goal is to revert back to my old driver so I can get sound through my computer, and I don't want any long term damage to my computer. Will this fix it?
"System Restore is complete, none of your documents have been altered."
Thank the Lord...and my sound works now. ZigZag, you are a genius! (And Thanks Bare Foot Kid for willing to help me out had this took a turn for the worse...:) )
