I have included my windows info I have installed. I was unable to reset with files so I ran repair 2 times & I still can not do it. I get this instead "There was a problem resetting your computer" No changes were made. Why?? WHAT do I do??? Thank you for any help with this.

It's just that I would have expected a different username on the computer, which made me think it belonged to a friend/relative.

I had to go look to see what you meant & yes I understand now. That was the name the fix it guy gave it.

Ok I got to confess I forgot to get the link you gave me.

BUT I got it now

I just got done looking at that link & I cant do any of them, I have no back up yet. That the reason I have not tried the complete reinstall, where it gos back to factory settings & everything else is tossed. I Ordered a exterior Hard Drive (back-up drive) it should be here ohh today Saturday Monday I hope. Then I can put my files on it so I no lose them. Humm please tell me it that a good idea or not

I can get my self in so much trouble by knowing just enough to really mess things up. Sorry got side tracked again

It's always a good idea to have an external HDD to back up to and with a system image on one would save you from having to go the full repair when things go awry.

BACKUPS. ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS. But, most backup products are clumsy and error-prone.

I have a script, and a simple US$39 product from Germany, that allows me to make 100% backups of each computer (locally on a separate partition, with as many days' worth of backup as you'd like to have; I use 5) and a 100% copy to an ancient XP system that writes them to an external drive (which I change every 10 days or so; I keep three 1TB disks in rotation; the eldest is in the trunk of my car, so if the house burns...). Last night's backup is in three places!

If you're interested, I could post more of it here. I call it "The Waterfall" method.
