As I said, normally I wouldn't rush, but in this case things are tight with this machine. It never liked Windows 7. I've been using a laptop for a while now, but I used to work with that machine before it. It was a lot faster and more powerful, but it was unstable so I stopped using it. I lost the install disk when I moved 4 years ago, so the things old tech anyway.

Getting past this blasted error is difficult, I'm not able to clean install Windows 7... And Windows 7 has more problems in general then Windows 8 updating. :-/ That's one of the reasons I use Linux, as it doesn't force you to update and is much better than all versions of Windows and Mac in many ways, the only reason I keep Windows is for gaming (and even that's getting better and better on Linux). Linux is faster, cleaner, and overall better. And it's free to download and many walkthroughs are online; do I would recommend it, especially Linux Mint as it's got a simple interface and is very similar to Windows. I don't mean to be rude and shove Linux down your throat or anything, just wanted to mention it, sorry. ^-^'  If you have any questions, I'd be delighted if I could help!
