I have a new HP AMD Phenom™ II X4 810 quad-core processor; 8GB DDR3 SDRAM; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe technology; 750GB hard drive; wireless LAN (802.11a/b/g/n); Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
from Best Buy that I got a few days ago . I used "Windows Easy Transfer"(WET) over my home wireless network to transfer about 16GB of stuff for several users. After starting WET twice and waiting about 20 hours all told, it looked like everything had gone pretty well. I told my wife "So far Windows 7 is OK"
Words of prophecy, or words of doom, only time will tell.
So then I installed Quickbooks, and then thunderbird to get email onto the new computer. and then it wanted to restart. So I shut it down- not a restart. Then when I went to turn it on again, it goes to desktop background and sits there. I can get to "Control Panel" by right clicking on the screen and going to "personalize" and then clicking on "control Panel" in the title bar. From control panel, I go to uninstall programs and when I check a program to uninstall, and then click "uninstall/change" I get
"Please wait until the current program is finished uninstalling or being changed"
How long do I have to wait? Any ideas? I cant get to task manager by ctrl alt del, it just restarts and comes back to the same place- actuallly it just goes to a blank screen and only gives the background picture when I hit a key or move the mouse.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
