I just restarted my computer and the flash on youtube is working as of this point but that is how it always is then some 30 mins it stops and makes my browers not respond. Also when I open tabs they actually work, unlike before when they would just freeze...but it is only a matter of time until this all happens again
How did you obtain Office? Did you install it on your computer or buy the pre-installed trial version?
If you still have the key, you can locate an installer to use to reinstall it with that key.
If you don't have the key, you can audit it from your system now using Attachment 44692
Back up your files and gather your program installers and disks.
Boot the Win7 DVD, plug ethernet and choose "Connect to internet during install" to get latest drivers/updates into installer.
Now choose Custom install, and Drive Options to delete all partitions, create new as you wish, then format before installing Win7 to first partition.
After install, connect to internet and check Windows Updates for any newer drivers. Then look in Device manager for any missing drivers. Find them on the Support Downloads page for your computer model, or by Googling exact hardware name.
When your installation is finished and running as you wish, use Win7 Backup imaging to save an image externally so you never have to reinstall again, just use Win7 DVD repair console to reimage the HDD (or a replacement) in 15 minutes.
Allright I reinstalled Windows 7. Clean Upgrade. I got most of my drivers and stuff. I get an error when I turn on my computer that says NVstartup missing entry. I think its for my graphic card drivers. No clue though. Also I have a widescreen monitor, but the webpages are all scrunched up and not streched to fit the entire monitor this bothers me. Maybe you know a way to fix this?
Go to Start > Run > Msconfig > Startup tab, and just uncheck the line NvCplDaemon = RUNDLL32.EXE:\windows\SYSTEM\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup
I personally uncheck all of the items in the msconfig startup tab except my AV and MS entries like stikynotes and sidebar (gadgets). Other programs are RAM/CPU freeloaders which don't need to be started until you run or click on them.
NVidia even lists its unneeded startup apps (like the one which caused your error) under MS entries, so scour them for any NV in the name so you can uncheck them also.
Congrats on the clean install, and handling these issues exactly right by posting them with exact titles to get help.
