hi Gregrocker.
lol thats the way i usually do it but i had screaming kids n stressed lol i hit the wrong option.
im thinkin that ill do a clean install as i keep gettin silly little errors n things not quite right. so thats the plan 4 2moz. just not lookin 4ward to the 100+ windows updates that will follow the install
If you could 'find' an exact same version Windows 7 installer as what you are using with the SP 1 already integrated you could use that for the installation and activate with your activation key and you wouldn't have all those updates to dl and install.
where would i go about finding 1? u mean a torrent
This any good to you? Removing Windows.old folder I'm meaning, not uTorrent.
How do I remove the Windows.old folder?
The best way to delete those old securom files is to take ownership of them, then boot into safe mode and try deleting them.
The other way, which worked for me, was to take ownership of the files from another system. I have Vista installed on my machine as well, so I boot into Vista, find the files take ownership and delete them.
Make sure you take ownership of the file, not just the folder.
Also - https://support.securom.com/removaltool.html (Securom's official site)
Bear in mind that if you have something that's using Securom you may have to reinstall it after removing the files.
My two cents.
thanks im just gonna do a clean install
That's a lot of work just to get rid of two harmless small files.
Your call though.
lol its not just those files. ever since i reinstalled windows ive been gettind loads of nigly little errors like currupt files. driver issues. loads of silly little things that get right on u tits lol. id rather spend the time n get it all right again than have to keep sortin little things. worth it in the long run i think
