    Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Win 7?

    Go to another computer with a 64 bit version of Windows installed and carry out this procedure:

    CREATE A SYSTEM REPAIR DISC

    START | type System Repair | Enter key | Create Disc button

    =================================================================
    =================================================================

    Do you have a Win 7 DVD?

    Oh yes, that procedure will prompt you to insert a cd/dvd.
    CD is sufficient. DVD is also OK.

    The answer is:
    Yes, I have a Win 7 DVD.
    No, I do not have a System Repair Disc.

    What you are observing is normally self-inflicted problem.

    Did you install/try to install a Linux-variant, for example Ubuntu? Yes/No. If yes, which one.

    Did you install/try to install XP after Win 7 was already installed? Yes/No.

    I'm trying to avoid you having to do a 100% clean install.

    Would you rather perform a 100% clean install?

    With the other problems you have related, then, YES, I believe that the path of least-resistance is going to do a 100% clean install.

    The Win 7 DVD== is that a "full" version or an "upgrade" version?

    Where did you purchase the DVD?

    and what were you planning to use for a 25-character product key when the installation prompts you for the product key?
