Hey well ive been having a lot of windows 7 issues like once for my headset the program wont open and now the computer properties wont open . Well its annoying the computers slow and catylast control center isnt opening and well my last choice to reset computer and just well install everything back.
But how do i do the drivers.Like uninstalling the reinstalling
Okay This is a lot easier than you think:). is your computer a specific model from a specific manufacturer? Dell i assume?
Also what type of install here? Like original the way u bought it? or clean install?(removes the crapware the companies put on the pc. but you could lose certain things.)
I'd start with a full virus scan then:
SFC /scannow elevated command prompt or from WinRE off a Install DVD, to verify your Windows 7 install files and replace.
One A/V scanning option:
Microsoft Security Essentials
or:
I use the beloved malwarebytes.org's awesome product, it's free for scan/removal, and they have a rootkit scanner/remover in beta as well to try for free.
When Windows goes that far south, it's usually a virus or file corruption.
OP claims basic windows functionality is broken (things not related to video mentioned) is the key part of their issue description.
