MSE seems to be uninstalled now (after a few mis-steps).
Thing seem to be working better. I can post to this forum using the computer whereas I was usuing a different one before.

Left the computer on overnight and got the attached message.
Things are going slow again too.
Think I should run the backup or do the scan first?
FIRST - back up your data to external media!!
THEN do a full CHKDSK scan and post the results.
Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at the next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then open
Event Viewer > Windows logs > Applications
Click on 'File' in the menu bar and select Save...
Save the file as Appevt.evtx
then zip it, and upload it to your reply.
Backup was not successful. Tried 3 times, got the message "The last backup did not complete successfully"
Ran CHKDSK anyway and attached the results.
Lets see if this file is correct.
This has today's information on it also.
The chkdsk was done yesterday, 12/26.
That's the one
Here's a snippet from the CHKDSK results...
It looks to me as if your hard drive may be beginning to fail - you should back up your data to external media now, before we attempt anything further.Code:Cleaning up 1472 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.

Tried to backup 3 times. Got the attached message.
Even tried to do just the C drive with the OS and got the same message.
I bought an external drive that could take the entire contents of the laptop.
Any suggestions?
