7 saving multiple copies at random...???

Well, as to the 'duplication'.....I can tell you that between the 2 copies of "My Websites", the files are NOT all the same if you look in 1 copy of My Websites and then the other copy. and I haven't messed with anything....the computer is as it was when I recevieved with the exception of the software I installed myself.

Where is this ?My Websites" folder? The full path.

As as far as doing a clean install intitially on a new machine, I'm a part-time web designer....not qualified to take on that big of job on my own...although it does sound like an excellent idea. I do believe the 'earmarks' abound in any new system. :)

If we were talking about (re)installing Windows XP then yeah might want help. But Windows 7 is easier then toast. Turn on the computer, boot up to Windows, put in the DVD follow the instructions. In less then 30 minutes you'll have a fresh installation. Don't have to format the disk or anything like that, just pick the correct one.

Hi,

Nice one Ladyluck! So was that after the enabled "Windows Classic", or did you do something different?

Don't worry about Speccy - it probably fell over when you changed to "Windows Classic".

No worries - its a pleasure.

Now, as you become more aacustomed to Windows 7 I suspect you are going to be wanting to use Aero. At the moment, its preventing PSP working properly. There could be two reasons:

1. PSP not 100% Windows 7 compatible, or
2. Your graphics card needs an updated driver

Lets check No2. Please go this site, and ensure the details are correct for your graphics card http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us. You have a 64 bit operating system, so select the 64 bit driver. Your grahpics card is a Nvidia GeForce GT220.

Downlaod the file, and install the driver/s. You might have to reboot the PC. After that, go back to Personalisation, and select one of the Aero themes. Now run PSP to see if it misbehaves again. If it does, go back to "Windows Classic".

Lets make sure the PSP problem is corrected first, then we'll tackle the multiple files problem, as per your latest post and screenshot. And, no, "Windows Classic" will not change the way you see things in Windows Explorer.

Hi Ladyluck,

I won't be around for a few hours, so just to summarise:

1. If PSP misbehaves with Aero turned on after installing the latest graphics card drivers, simply go back to Personalisation and turn on "Windows Classic". This means that PSP is probably not 100% compatible with the Aero features of Windows 7.

2. I noticed from the Speccy attachment that you don't have an anti-virus turned on. I'm unsure if you have done that on purpose, but if not, I recommend turning it back on. If you don't have an anti-virus program, then you can download and install Microsoft's free anti-virus from this link http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Keep posting here if you need more help, and I'm sure someone will be able to sort you out. I'm convinced the "dulpicates" are a function of Libraries, or the way you work with them, so replacing hardware or operating system is definately not required.

The amount of RAM you have doesn't dictate the speed of your internet connection.
