    Ryan stated Win7 is pre installed.
    If he needs to reinstal he will need to use the recovery disks or recovery partition.

    Ryan did you look at the tutorial I posted earlier?

    Yes I looked. I am able to sort my files THAT way but when I try to sort them via the "Arrange" option on the top right, it won't change to what I click. It just stays on "Folder".

    Right now I'm more worried about why I get that error now when I create a new user. I feel like my Windows 7 is all screwed up. I really hope not.

    I don't really have anything too important to save. Just pictures, videos and stuff like that. I can re-download programs and stuff. I have a 500 GB external hard drive which is definitely enough for what I have. I might go with that route if I can't find out what exactly is wrong.

    well the reason,i suggested a clean install was .. because i didn't hear of this issue either. not sure if other members have or not.
