Still the same error. Do you give up?

 

[NoelDP]

Me? Give up? not yet!

Read through this MS article and see if you feel capable of doing it - it looks immensely complex, but is actually fairly simple.

Nope! It didn't work.

Oh dear - in that case, I think we'd better call it quits, and go to a repair install

Good luck with it - don't be afraid to ask questions!
