It couldn't be anything else? I mean my computer is running strangely slow right now so could that have anything to do with it?
Thoru,
It could be from a number of things. You might scan your system with Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper at boot and later with Malwarebytes free to help make sure your system is malware free.
If it doesn't help, then it's usually just best to backup what you do not want to lose and do a clean install.
Yes, a custom install will place a copy of your current installation in the C:\Windows.old folder in the new installation. After the new installation is finished, you could copy any files you want back from within the C:\Windows.old folder to where you like in the new installation. You will still need to reinstall all programs and drivers though. To be safe, I would still recommend that you backup anything that you do not want to lose in case something bad happens (ex: power loss) during the installation.
OK, thanks. It seems we don't have much that looks important so i'll be trying that later on.
Shawn,
Everything went GREAT on the Repair Install from the Anytime Upgrade I used Windows7 Ultimate SP1 CD
The Anytime Upgrade was from "Home Premium to Ultimate" So it can be done just have to get the right CD to do it.
Only one problem is that step 18 the two folders that are on the C:\ drive don't show up on the Disk Clean Up can I just delete them manually?
Thanks Again this saved me alot of time.
Also it deleted Windows XP Mode & Windows Virtual PC. Just so everyone knows. Simple to fix
Kevin

That's great news Kevin. Thank you for posting back with your results. :)
Is that a "retail" Windows7 Ultimate SP1 CD copy that you used?
