I have been seeing that windows 7 has been freezeing for many people. My probelm is that I cant download anything without the download freezeing at any random percentage. I cant dl google toobar, firefox, java and more without it stopping and freezeing. I try to restart the downloads and same thing happens. Any help with this? I have made sure I am using Internet explorer (64-bit edition) when downloading aswell.

For all the trouble it's worth, yes.
You must do a "custom install" don't format your hard drive and windows will put your old installation in a folder called windows.old which you will be able access all of your files and copy them your to your new installation. You will have to reinstall your programs but the end result should be more then worth the time. (By the way, it will take you less time to do all that than it took you to upgrade in the first place!)

Was the install an upgrade or a "clean" install.

An upgrade leaves useless files on you system and can cause conflicts.

You will. however need to save all your important Documents, videos, Favorites, music,etc to a flash drive.

Be aware, you will have to re-install all your 3rd partyapplications..

I have never performed an upgrade and there was always a windows.old folder.

It tells you that during install.
