It had been several days since the last time I made any changes to the system I upgraded a utility and the system had been restarted at least four times after that with no problem.
The only other change was a Windows Update. Interestingly, following that same Windows Update on my Vista machine, it refused to restart BSOD and I had to roll back to a two-day-old restore point - that fixed it.
I have always had a mysterious problem with the Win 7 Pro machine in that it creates restore points, but I can never find them, so I may not have that option on this machine.
I am in the process of launching a new business and cannot afford to be without my computer, or to have it doing bizarre things, or to purchase a new copy of Windows and have to take the time to restore three years of careful configuration. I when I recently purchased a new laptop from Office Depot, I also purchased a Windows 7 Pro upgrade kit and installed it myself.
This is not acceptable, either, and I have no clue how to go about dealing with it. The transaction took place three years ago! Please help; I'm already running on the razor's edge with launching this business.
This error has the potential of destroying me financially. I cannot do everything I need to do on the laptop - it is an inexpensive, minimal machine and specifically lacks Office and the capacity to run advanced graphics software Was this reply helpful?
