| Hi, I am having so many little problems that I think the only thing left to do is re-install Vista Home Premium. I have an upgrade disc. I don't want to format the computer etc I just want to reinstall windows. Is there a guide somewhere on here? Or do I just do what I did when I installed vista in the first place i.e switch off computer, insert Vista disc, run disc at computer start up (before windows loads) etc? Will I loose all the programs like MS Office ? Thanks !:thanks: -- frankc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ frankc's Profile: http://www.techtalkz.com/member.php?userid=11736 View this thread: http://www.techtalkz.com/showthread.php?t=325405 Posted via http://www.techtalkz.com - Technology & Computer Troubleshooting Forums | Guest

| Doing an in place upgrade doesn't really fix problems like this. A clean install (format) is needed to ensure a clean system to start from. With a clean install you would need to also reinstall all your programs. If you do a clean install make sure you have your data backed up first. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ "frankc" <frankc.317lnn@no-mx.www.techtalkz.com> wrote in message news:frankc.317lnn@no-mx.www.techtalkz.com...

| Hi Frank, I'd like to help you out in choosing the best route to go but I'm curious as to what problems your having and how long ago did they start? Did you install a driver or some other software and started having problems? Hit with a virus? You have several options for a possible fix with Vista but we need more info to guide you as to the best possbile fix. Thanks Mike D "frankc" wrote: Quote:
