    The boot issue is fine. I was able to get into the system recovery. Just forgot how to get in there. When i got into the sytem recovery, Microsoft start up repair tool, the repair tool did a quick scan and then back to back to the main screen of the repair tool. Booted back up into windows 7 no problem, and tried to download a word file from my email and it didnt work.

    I got into the Recover Manager by pressing the ESC button. Went to the screen that said I need help Immediately and I'ld like to take precautions. Under the I need help immediately I selected the Microsoft startup Repair tool. It did a scan of about 10 seconds, and stopped. Never gave me an option to select a user account.

    Are you trying to bring your PC to Factory Settings ? If you're I'd recommend staying away from that . Take a look at the OEM clean install tutorial that was written by Gregrocker below

    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    Create recovery disc inside the Desktop just in case as a backup .

    Log into a working profile and create a recovery disc using the Recovery software . If you click on type RECOVERY inside the Search programs and files box you should have an option that says Create recovery disc . You will need a DVD +r or a -r disc . It should create 2-3 discs in total .

    Then read the OEM tutorial to create a clean Windows 7 installation

    GilV37,

    Hope I am not too late...

    Whatever the setting or issue is, it is not in the hidden built-in elevated Administrator account, but, on the User profile.

    A clean User profile might work...nothing to lose at this point.

    Use Option One: User Account - Create
    In step #5, after typing a name for the User account, select: Administrator account
    Then click on: Create Account

    When all done with Option One, log in to the new User account, and see if you can download SystemLook once again.
