Yes i have lightshot installed i already deleted the skillbrains adware and my lighshot still works.  I found the product keys, but im not going to wipe my system if i don't have to. I would really rather not put any more money into this computer it is just holding me over. as for the Puppy Linux, I will look it up!

Everything that you would need for a non_destructive reinstall of the OS is at the link I gave, includes Puppy Linux instructions) > https://www.winhelp....-windows-7.html

It will not cost you anything, just your time.

 

Important.  The above is a suggestion to help on the thread, Do not just go ahead and start making more system alteration (deleting or installing) until Phillpower2 comes back and gives you instruction as he may have decided on a different strategy. 

 

Is your product key 5 blocks of 5 letters and numbers?   Don't post it.

Thank you for the additional support iammykyl and Nev respectively 

 

Leroyman,

 

What our colleagues have suggested is 100% the exact same path that I would propose, to condense this;

 

1: Use Magical Jelly Bean keyfinder (free) to obtain any/all product keys that will be needed for Windows 7 and any other possible software. (Done)

2: Back up all important data from the HDD using Puppy Linux, to keep things uncomplicated follow the steps here rather than any alternative.

3: Perform a Non-destructive reinstall of Windows 7 again following the steps at the link that iammykyl kindly provided for you.

 

As already said, the above will only cost you your time and if done correctly will resolve all of your present computer issues.

[Leroyman]

If it takes nothing but time and saves or transfers my saved info i have no problems with doing it.

5 sets of 5 letter number combinations yes.

You are welcome.

We will look after you, but lets do steps one at a time then post if you have problems and when you have been successful, 

 

All good then for the Windows Key. 

 

A slight hiccup.

Microsoft has stopped all downloads from Digital Rivers and any related site.   

all links on the Web, except this one, will not work, > http://www.microsoft...ftware-recovery

Please go there, have a read, then post back.

Hi iammykyl,

I may not be understanding you right.. I have read all your posts and also that link you posted. My only concern now it looks to be only Microsoft Office, I am confussed if i will be able to get that back as well? I use Microsoft Office for Schedules so that would need to be a must.

 

(Update) - Not sure if this is useful or not but i just found a file saved onto my desktop that was not put there by me. Or well, I did not mean to put it there if that makes sense? It is labled  Old firefox data  http://prntscr.com/6cp062 It has all kinds of stuff in the file that may be why my computer is acting up

http://prntscr.com/6cp1l2

http://prntscr.com/6cp5lg

If you need more info on it please let me know i just thought maby this would save time and trouble of going through all the new windows 7 stuff. Just a thought?

By the dates it was made and the dates all went to [bleep], looking at the dates of this topic and its posts it all fits together..

http://prntscr.com/6cqj2r

 

I looked it up and it says it is from me resetting my firefox, but i have not reset my firefox, Ever! So i guess if it sounded to good to be true it probably was. Pfff i thought i figured it out!

Hi iammykyl,

I started the ''Back up all important data from the HDD using Puppy Linux'' It is done and on my new flash drive. i just need to know what to do now..

 

I have not tried the back up. You want me to do that now? if it will work..

[iammykyl]

No, not needed if you already done it with Puppy.

What about the Office product key.

[Leroyman]

Yes i have it, its 5 digits in 5 different sets

 

EDIT: sorry the CD key for microsoft office is 5 sets of 5, but the product key is 4 number codes

[iammykyl]

Great.

Download Office here, Save to your desktop, then post back, > https://www7.downloa...e=en-GB&ref=o12

[Leroyman]

It is asking for my (Product key) is that the same as (CD Key)???

 

http://prntscr.com/6d7dib

 

 

 

My Product ID: for Office shows the numbers like this, Not the same numbers but in this combination, 12345-123-1234567-12345

Should i just break that ID into 5 number blocks and enter it in the Product key?

Edited by Leroyman, 05 March 2015 - 05:16 PM.

[iammykyl]

If you wrote the key down make usre it is correct, make usre it is correct when you enter it on the site, try again.

[Leroyman]

i have not wrote the code down. I copied it straight to a word document. but it looks like the product id is only 20 digits long and so im out of ideas now...lol

[iammykyl]

Copy and paste the key to me in a PM so I can see it
