Thank you - your help is much appreciated

Thank you for the info Josephur. When I am installing W7 and get to the part that allows you to format the drive (from the Custom option) I notice that I have 2 partitions. Partition 1: is system reserved at 100MB; and Partition 2: is 900GB I want to make sure that the computer is as clean as...

When Windows is reinstalled from the disc (from the "F8" boot window), is the hard drive reformatted automatically? If not how can I achieve this?

Hello again, The excitement has worn off - the removal of the bug didn't solve my problem. The old problem is: - all the screens will go blank (black) for a few moments - then they will briefly resume - while briefly resumed and error message pops up from the bottom right hand corner (of my...

Thanks Titanic I ran a full system scan with my Norton - came up clean Then downloaded the malware you suggested - that detected 2 items that I removed (quarantined) - I've attached a snip for your info of what they were. I tried to google what they attacked on the computer but no luck...

I've recently had to restore my PC (W7) to "factory settings" (i.e. wipe the hard drive reload W7 and reinstall everything). It seems that there was some update of a driver or maybe windows update that is causing the system to malfunction. I run 6 screens and I have read that the NVIDIA card...

Thanks Joe, Sorry to display my ignorance, but does that mean; (a) that my drive is a network drive and is not compatible with this process and therefore I should buy a different type of drive to carry out this process?; or (b) i need to set up the drive differently so that it is not seen as...

I'm trying to create a system image on an external hard drive using the Win7 software (i.e. STart>Control Panel>System and Security> Backup and Restore). I understand that the external HD must be connected directly to the computer so I disconnect the internet and connect the HD (using a...

Apologies, I should have included that I have tried the following: (1) Uninstalling the driver. Then rebooting to reinstall the driver. I get confirmation that that has happened. (2) Open the Playing and Burning CDs, DVDs, and Blu‑ray Discs troubleshooter From Open the Playing and Burning...

I initially had a problem with my my computer i.e. 'Windows desktop manager stopped working and was closed' - so having tried many potential solutions, and failed, I am resigned to restoring the computer to factory settings. It seems that I have to do with the windows installation disc. But my...

I'm not a techie by any stretch of the imagination but my computer is acting up. Over a period of 2+ months I've been carrying out various tests, restores and processes checking various bits and pieces and I conclude that it seems to be something with the nVIDIA drivers and the windows desktop...

Thanks for the help. As you have suggested, I've updated the NVIDIA drivers and applied their settings (to both edge enhancement and noise reduction). Unfortunately I still get "Desktop Window Manager stopped working and was closed" on startup. You mention "error reports", I'd be happy to...

For the past week or so I'm getting this error message. I've followed the suggestions on another Thread here with the same error. But the problem still remains. i.e. System file check - threw up nothing SO I did a System Upgrade Repair What I can tell you are: At the startup I get the error...
