Saving programs

[vidanova]

Hi

I would like to reinstall windows 7 but have some programs e.g Microsoft Office 2007, but do not have the original insallation discs, question is how can I save these and reinstall without losing them. The main reason I wish to install Windows 7 is I think some things with in 7 are not working as they should. Any advice would be most welcome, I am an aging beginner so please be gentle.......LOL

What in Windows 7 is not working? Can you tell us specifically what's wrong?

Try running the SFC/SCANNOW command. It will fix any corrupted or deleted files. Run the command followed by a reboot, three times.

If that doesn't work, try restoring your computer to a point before the problems started using System Restore.

You could also try doing a repair install using the original Windows 7 disk.

If you do not have a Windows 7 disk, you can create one.

Hope this helps,
