    I only have one disc and that's the one I'm using. As I said, the choice between 32 and 64 is done just before installing.

    I can't do any of these things since I don't have a usable computer. I'm using an iPad to read and post to this forum.

    Yes, I can, but I hate to think of all the software I'm gonna have to reinstall and reconfigure. I'll do that as a last resort.
    As soon as the weekend is over, I'll call the store where I bought my computer. They do tons of installations; perhaps they'll find a way out of this mess.

    yes they may be able to help to save you losing data the other way is to use a live cd distro of linux like ubuntu you boot into the live disc(linux operating system) and you could copy your files and download to a external drive then after what you have salvaged reinstall a fresh windows 7 :) have you a friend with a pc to help you

    to save me from typing it in have a look at this other thread i am helping in and it explains what i mean about using ubuntu ok :) https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...up-repair.html

    Hiya Roninbar, you could try using this free utility Trinity Rescue Kit | CPR for your computer to remove (blank) the password and enable you to log on normally, whilst this is not a tool I recommend to circumvent bypassing the login option there are genuine cases like what you are experiencing where tools like this could bring back a sense of normality.

    *please note this is NOT intended to bypass windows security and should NOT be used for these purposes. I'm sure that Seven forums will remove this link if they see fit.

    Brian, I don't think it's necessary to go into all this trouble to copy the files to an external drive. The installation doesn't format the disk; it just renames Windows to Windows.old. The real killer is having to re-install all the programs I have now, digging up the license keys for everything, re-configuring the system...
