Whoopee..It seems to have worked. There are only 132 of the 135 Windows updates still to install. Many many thanks.. I owe you all several beers!

Question: Does anybody know where can I obtain a near current version of MS Office Professional 2010 for my software reinstall? I'd like to avoid the need for another massive update session, which would no doubt happen if I install my original version from 2010.

Not sure if these are more current than yours but you can try it,

Guys,

The fresh install went well. I am going through the laborious process of reinstalling my commonly used programs, along with ALL the respective updates, service packs, etc ..... as well as trying to work at the same time. I have yet to formally active Windows, I will do that later today.

One thing I noticed is that there is no sound whatsoever. The Device Manager has a yellow warning triangle next to the sound card. By right clicking, it seems that Windows was unable to load a suitable driver for this device. I will try to find the make and model, and then hopefully obtain the correct driver. I am wondering if it was this device that caused the repair install to fail. If all else fails I will buy a new sound card.

I would really like to thank you all for your assistance and advice.

All the best to you all,
Jezza

If you have trouble finding the correct driver, list the make and model and we can put our collective heads together and find it for you. Try that before you splurge out on a new sound card.....its almost certainly not required.
