  Do you remember the last time that your Media Player worked properly?  You can use the system restore (type it in the start menu to find) to go back on this point.  This restoration takes about 2 minutes and will not affect your files - no matter how far you go.  It simply restores your system files and settings.

• I can reinstall Windows 7 from the Microsoft Web site free of charge, or I have to go buy Windows 7?

  I have a HP laptop about 3 years. I don't have the disks with it to reinstall.  I have trouble starting up. Best Buys geeksquad says to reinstall windows 7.

  If I can get on the internet can I reinstall from the Microsoft Web site free of charge or I have to go buy windows 7.  If I have to buy that I would be better off to buy windows 8?

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community!

  You can either reinstall the computer, which means it will have ANYTHING to this topic, or you can do a system restore when it was working fine.

Even if it is now at the level of the SP3, the automatic updates from the Microsoft web site will not work. If I bought the latest version of the SP3 CD-ROM, which will be the same as what I have now, or it will integrate all of the fixes that have taken place in recent years?
