My Windows 7 (Home Premium edition) laptop is now 3 years old and is showing all the usual Windows signs of age. Programs are taking longer to open, IE is unstable and often crashing as well as not opening full size (Auto-sizer will not always fix this either.
The plan was to reinstall everything from the recovery partition but first to run a backup and create a system image. The problem is that every time I try this the back-up will run for awhile and then fail with the following error codes.
Ox 8078012D Ox8007045D
Reading up on this it seems to be a registry issue but all the "help" I have found either makes no sense to me or does not work!
I have run disk checking on the C drive and my external hard drive, re-formatted the external drive and cleared out old back-up folders from within Windows but although the back-up went further it still failed after about 20 minutes of backing up. What I want to do is be able, if possible is re-install all current programs etc as I do not have all the software on CD.
Any advice gratefully received!
