Not able to do repair install of Win 7
Hey guys and gals. I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I have an old AMD 939 platform PC running Windows 7. The specs:
Motherboard- Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Ram- 4 gigs (4 x 1 gig or 2 matched pairs ) Corsair XMS TwinX DDR, timing @ 3-3-3 7
Graphics- PNY Nvidia GeForce GT 620 w/1 gig ram
CPU- AMD Opteron 170 @ 2600 megaherts
Hard drives 2 x Seagate Barracudas 160 Gig 7200 rpm drives
Yes this machine is overclocked, but I get the same result at stock speed. I built this PC about nine years ago and it has been a real trooper. I am retired now an can't afford to build a new one just now. A while back I ran into a problem with some bad Ram modules, and ( I think ) Windows might have gotten some corruption in it. I also recently had a Lenovo Android tablet which I set up to connect to my PC to move files
back and forth.
Anyway, now, the system has degraded in performance and Windows explorer is constantly crashing. So I figured I would just try a repair install over the top from within Windows to hopefully solve these issues without having to do a full wipe and re-install. However whenever I run setup in Windows, I get to the point of the setup checking compatibility, only to get a message which says Setup cannot continue due to the following files present: Lenovo ADB Device/Lenovo composite ADB Device. I have been unsuccessful in finding the aforementioned file or driver or whatever. So I am stuck with a system that is really buggy. I hope someone out there has some idea how to get around this problem without a full re-install. Please help.
