Hi Steampunk7,
You state that this is the third time to have had to repair install, is this using the same media on all three occasions?

Yes,



the link is in my previous post. It has been recommended to me here.

Hi Steampunk7,
Did you create a DVD or USB for the installation? There could have been a problem with the burn process!

I actually extracted it on non-system partition, and then clicked on setup.exe

SIW2, thanks but...I watched the tutorial by Brian at Britec Computer UK on how to do Repair Install.
I did everything just like he did. I doubt the mounted image will do the RI any better.



I am quite tired of performing Repair Install repeatedly, downloading updates, rebooting (at least 100 times so far), uploading various Hotfixes, setting all my preferences again and again (can't even remember them all) deleting all the Microsoft junk (gadgets, games, weather, Windows media center...) which slow down my PC and...you know how it goes.



I really need my PC working as before, because my job depends on it but now I am not sure what to do. In order to do one thing properly I have to do 10 other things first, in precise order, and when one of those steps fail for some reason...I am not sure what to do now. I feel a little dizzy at the moment. Last couple of days I haven't done anything but looking at the screen for hours and hours, searching for solutions on various problems...



One of those problems (but only one) is for instance that after I successfully installed standalone IE 11 file (I couldn't install it via update installer), and rebooted PC, when I run IE, it is still version 8. Don't know how it could be, but it is so. A couple of standalone updates which I also successfully installed manually (for the same reason) are apparently NOT installed, because they are still on the DISM list of updates.

Btw, I managed to install critical updates, in small packages of 5-6 updates at the time. There's 59 other updates which can't be installed. What puzzles me is the fact that DISM successfully downloaded and installed some of those 59 updates, but after rebooting I got this annoying message seen zillion times by now: Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer. It always stuck at 15%.
