    I purchased a legal Windows 7 CD from Amazon and wanted to install it on a PC I was rebuilding.
    Have you verified the checksum for the new media you purchased ?
    Maybe there is a problem with the Win 7 install media.
    If you're interested, here is a SF thread about this with links, posts, suggestions, etc.:

    I have KB976902 on two systems and it causes no problems.
    Maybe your problem lies elsewhere.

    It smells to me that the installation disk is corrupt in some fashion.

    I would suggest reading this because you chose a refurbished Windows 7.

    I also wonder if the installation disk is corrupt, that's why i suggested verifying the checksum.

    Some other things that make me wonder about the media
    The OP stated in Post #9
    I'm sorry WHS but the update was installed on 11/20/2010 when the CD was made.
    Win 7 SP1 wasn't officially released until February 2011, so is the new Win 7 media from Amazon SP1 or pre-SP1 ?
    KB976902 is required to get the SP1 update, but this KB was re-published after 11/20/2010.

    Maybe the new Win 7 media is an old pre-SP1 version with an old KB976902 update.

I used a de-frag programme to speed up my VAIO which uses W7. it was a disaster. As a result I've had to re-load lots of stuff and an unfortunate side effect has been that when in Control Panel I can't click on lots of the links to perform actions like "create a new user profile" "find and fix...
