Typing exit closed it. I've downloaded the batch file and am about to run it.

Okay, I followed the instructions, but apparently the service pack didn't install even though it said it did, because it's still in my list of updates that need to be installed.

![]() Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
|
I called a tech support company and they did a diagnostic using remote access, and the lady said I had a bunch of corrupted and missing drivers, and the only way she could fix it was to download a bunch of advanced tools, and for that I had to purchase a package of at least one year of support, which I couldn't afford. I'd like to do this myself without having to get my harddrive wiped. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks.

Just to let you guys know, the reason I haven't been on is because I've been in the hospital. I'm back home now, but I'm having to stay with people for a couple weeks. If you would still like to help me I can try to work on the desktop when I get back. I did get a laptop with Windows 8, so if the desktop is fixed I'll have both computers.
greg and others, thanks so much for all your help, and I'm sorry I disappeared on you guys. Also, a bit OT, but can someone please contact the staff of eightforums.com and ask them to assist me? I can't register because my laptop's being a *** about the captcha because of my visual impairment. The audio isn't working right. I guess I haven't gotten everything updated yet or something. |

So glad to hear from you Jessie. I hope whatever had you down is gone for good. We are still ready to assist you in whatever way we can.
How do you like Win8? It can be a PITA with the metro Start Screen charms popping out of right field and the wall of buttons slamming down on your work just to get to the Start menu choices. What I do when I install it is immediately install Windows 7 Start Menu for Windows 8 which puts a replica Win7 Start menu on if you can supply the 7 disk for it to pull files from (Extracted ISO you have would be sufficient if you point it there). Then you'll have the familiar Win7 desktop setup, with just a few of the remaining Win8 crApps hanging around that can be uninstalled and set to default to your favorites, e.g. WMP, Adobe Reader, etc. So let us know when you're ready and how you'd like to proceed. We'll be here. |
