Hi Tortonas, welcome to the Seven Forums.

Please you need to explain your issue a bit more. I really do not understand what's the problem.

What has java to do with win7 clean install?

  • What problems did you have?
  • What did you try to solve it?
  • What do you mean by saying "the drivers are messed up"?

Do you have a system restore point? Usually Windows Update creates one automatically when making updates...

Unless you have your files backed up a clean install like you are describing wipes the drive by formatting it prior to the new install, I'm not sure why you thought doing a clean install of windows would install java? but there's not much that can be done unless you have a back up image of your OS, or a backup of the files that you need.

Did you do an upgrade install (from within win7)? Or did you boot from dvd and installed win7?

You have a folder called windows.old so I think you did an upgrade install. Correct?

I downloaded win 7 from the internet and used a program to put it in a usb instead of a disk and i ran it, downloaded it and now it sucks

WIN 7 How to undo a clean WIN 7 install?

Story
I had no Java and couldn't install it because of something so i thought : ''What if i did a clean install so i could install Java properly and all my other stuff.
My laptop looked good, high graphics, lotsa games and other stuff, i searched how to do a clean install without a disk and i found it.
I downloaded the files and the program to download it with an usb, after a while it was done and it was awful!
WIN XP-like graphics, slow as **** and my drivers weren't working so i got no internet, i searched on my Iphone for help and posted a thread here ( you can delete that other thread ).
I have no back ups, i only have some old files but i don't know what to do with them.
THE ONLY QUESTION IS : HOW DO I UNDO THE CLEAN INSTALL WITHOUT A DISK, BACK UP OR SOMETHING?
I DO HAVE THE OLD FILES!

Please do not take this in any other way than what it is: a subjective personal opinion from another member:

This will be my last post responding you because I really dislike your style. Swearing and yelling here where people are voluntarily trying to help you is arrogant, impolite and naive.

As a "parting gift" I will give you this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/16282-windows-old-folder-restore-into-new-installation.html

Before you start the procedure described in that tutorial, you really need calm down.

Good bye.

Did you move all files from windows.old to windows? Not a smart thing to do... at least not in this case now. Are some (or all) applications you had before still working (or visible on desktop)?
