windows 7 repair

Hello, I am looking for a free version of windows 7 or repair disk. I am not trying to pirate anything so if that seems to be the only way please let me know and I will seek another way. I am trying to connect to the internet and I keep getting proxy server is not responding. I uncheck the box in the options and it keeps rechecking the box. I have also tried other ways like fixing registry and updates and system restore and it will not work. please help and thanks in advance

I will give this a shot when I get home thanks for the prompt reply

Everything is here to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall Windows 7 which compiles everything that has worked best in tens of thousands of installs we've helped with here since beta, and been used by over a million consumers without a single complaint.

Be sure to read the Special Note to Dell Owners at the end so you know which partitions to keep when you do the booted reinstall, which is important to getting the cleanest install.

thanks for the replies everybody, I bought this computer off someone so I reimage will probably be best for me. I really do appreciate all the help from everybody

What do you mean that you're trying to install Win7 from a site we recommended? At which step in Clean Reinstall Windows 7 are you receiving this error exactly? If it's while trying to boot the installer you created, then download another ISO to completion and use the tool provided to burn another disk or flash stick installer. Then boot the installer correctly and do not run it from Windows.

this is happening as soon as I run setup.exe, it doesnt even begin the install, I will re-download and make sure I follow the steps correctly thanks
