Aaargh sorry but why does this keep happening?????

kerrypn

OK they are done now

Is it sorted now/what shall i do to stop the same happening all over again?

Which programmes must I not delete from the system?

waddler_8

Create an image as previously suggested.

Are you still experiencing the clicking sound?

kerrypn

ok will do that.

No waddler, it is working perfectly so far-the problem is it was after the previous factory restore then after about a week it all started going pete tong.

No discs at all tony, it was all on the pc already

All that stuff didn't come from the maker of the hardware, so perhaps the PC is secondhand, and full of rubbish from the previous owner - what I would advocate is a clean fresh start with just windows - even uninstalling a load of cr4p still leaves footprints and oddities everywhere

It was a brand new computer! I dont know how else i can say it, i keep saying-all this came on the computer pre installed and it was a brand new computer!

Why does no one believe me? I am not trying to be evasive, I am telling you the truth, brand new, no discs, all this [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] as you put it was already there!

From which company? It really is odd!

kerrypn

We got it from currys. It is still under warranty etc, in fact there is a long story involving the purchase of the computer but i wont bore you with it now!

OMG thanks, wow, all those red ones :eek:

There are a few of the yellow ones we do use i think, it is a bit difficult to read but should be able to find them from where they are in the list. The touch portal will have to stay becuse the touchscreen apps wont work otherwise will they?

Thanks so much for that, just sorting out the macrium reflect now

Erm on macrium, do i save the back up to a disk? do i select image this disk?

Figment

Everything in RED are language variations of Windows Live and can be removed. The English versions of Windows Live may be removed if not used.

All in BLUE are games related, and may be removed if not used.

Of the remaining, some are not strictly necessary, some I'm not 100% certain what they are.
