    If not, try to get the right install media, then perform a custom installation:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  • programs do not work immediately after that fix malware 'trouble Shooting permit' said "applied settings are windows xp - but I have windows 7 ultimate

    computer doesn't have any malware left in it. but subsequently noticed that things do not work right - google earth is good example. I then right click on the icon and place comes the list such as 'open with' but there is also one "Troubleshoot for compatibility" list just then up to 2 choices - one of the top is "compatibility with the applied settings" but it says "windows xp - service pack 2" it lists not windows 7 or windows 7 ultimate. " so I clicked on troubleshoot and place comes the yellow triangle exclamation "problems found - this program is not compatible with windows xp in terms of statistics... '.  I then started right click on other programs such as photoshop - real player - makes no difference they say ALL not compatible with windows xp.  --> the next part is probably not bound--> I have 2 computers connected to the same monitor - but they are not connected to each other.  that has windows xp.  during the correction of malware the second computer was not on at all.  during the correction of many programs scanning is headed by correspondent to customer of malwarebytes.  many things have been updated such as the intnernet Explorer and the latest updates of windows of all kinds.   is it possible that somewhere in the registry that something is stuck in there, making the computer thinks that it has installed xp?  for the 'settings applied' - it's just a matter of finding where this setting is and he said somehow 'windows 7 ultimate - windows xp no' while the programs will run to the right and things normally appear on the screen?  Another example is happening on the line using the Explorer - screen pages but look outdated with problems strange such as buttons are invisible - or images have large white rectangles in them.  computer starts slowly and "locks" a lot.  my main computer is very fast - all ratings on the performance page are high – most are 7.9.  somewhere in there, the computer has a confilict THOUGHT for PROGRAMS HE has Windows XP.

    Even now, I noticed that when I am ready to post the question - computer automatically knew that I have windows 7 - Internet explorer 9.  so computer works but on SOME things - he apparently thinks I have xp.   is it possible that ALL the people that right click and check compatibility, it says 'windows xp' without concern if they windows 7 or not?  have been emailing friends with windows 7 for you, please try and answer - but nobody will answer... (they think it will be the beginning of a nightmare for all of my problems)

    Accidentally, I installed my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate on Windows 7 Pro.  After installing some updates, a few months ago the "Windows 7 Build 7601 this copy of Windows is not genuine" came on my screen and stayed there.  I assumed that an update checked to see if the key was needed for Windows Pro and found that it was not.  I removed the windows updates I thought that can cause it and that did not help.  I installed updates since then with no problem and I don't think I could if I had an illegal copy of Windows.

    Can someone help me with this?
