Theme glitch: half aero, half classic

sygnus21:

This will show you how to do a repair install (aka: in-place upgrade install) to fix your currently installed Windows 7 and preserve your user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.

Though, it didn't show multiple settings compared to clean installation process.

Thanks to both for the effort in helping me, probably I'll just face the fact that it's unfixable without clean install and I'll just re-install Win7 (without formatting, though - no place to copy my important data, since I don't have external HDDs, etc, etc)

Anyways, since I'm ending this thread, I will go a little off-topic. So is there any possible way to make my VIA VT6306 IEEE1394 card work on this system?

I think you're confusing yourself over this.

The repair install is a lot simpler, quicker, and less hassle. And it allows you to keep your current setting and programs in place. An OS reinstall would require you to reconfigure your settings, and reinstall all your programs.

Personally I'd try the repair install first. What's there to lose?

You call though.

Good luck.

And yes, nommy is right.... you should always backup your data. You never know what can happen.
