Looks like you are having a networking problem to me.
Windows Vista and Windows 7/8: Click Start, type command. Right click on Command Prompt at the top and select Run as Administrator. Type sfc /scannow and press Enter Let it run to completion.
If you decide this is the way to go, make sure you backup your data first, even though a repair install is not supposed to touch your personal data. Things happen!!!
MrC is a good guy. He stops in here once in a while.
I think a Repair Install is the way to go at this point. Just backup your data as I mentioned.
Does your computer have a Recovery partition on the hard drive? Disk Management will show you. If your not sure, post a screen shot of a full screen Disk Management:
Disk Management screen. I am conducting a backup to Drive G, my USB connected Western Digital drive. Is that allright or do I need to create a recovery partition? Will probably need instructions of how to do that.
I got that fine, thanks. You definitely have a Recovery partition. Now we need to figure out how to use it. Often there is a program you can run from the Start menu and a Fn key you press during boot.
What is the make and full model number of your computer. The online Users Guide should explain how to do a System Recovery.
Well It took a while, but I was finally able to create a Windows 7 boot iso. I couldn't get the usb (rufus) to reconize a drive, so I created the iso on my passport backup device using 7-zip.
Windows is booting much faster now and hasn't froze yet. Since I had a lot of system error messages pointing to an adobe product conflict, I had deleted all my adobe apps.
I will load them back on one at a time and see if any of them affects the boot.
Thanks for the help.
