Keep in mind that if you use that Ghost image you will lose all data on that machine....it will revert the system back to the time the image was created...are you sure this is what you want to do ? ?

    I'm currently backing up my important files so that if things go wrong I have my files.

    Norton ghost regularly backs up and saves on my D:/ partition and it has quite and handful of images saved would I be able to pick one to restore to?

      They cannot be on the same partition you are trying to restore...
      Do you have a Ghost bootdisk ? ?

        They are saved on another partition on the laptop. I made a boot disk early on when I go the laptop. A good five months ago.

        I'm just concerned of losing my files so I'm backing them up first.

          I do not have a CD that came with the laptop.

          I was prompted to make a system recovery disk using [highlight]Norton Ghost [/highlight]when I first used the PC. Could I use this?

          that

          Oh.  8-)

            Ok I restored to a previous date using Ghost but it has not fixed the problem, I still get the same message when I try to download anything.

            I tried to download windows live messenger, iTunes 7, aim triton but no luck.

            What now?!

              uve backed up your important things right then use ghost to go back to the settings of the computer when you took it out of the box

                  Ok now I am really miffed!!!

                  I just did a complete system recovery with the recovery CD I made when I first got the laptop. It restored everything to factory settings but I still have the same problem. Can't download anything.

                  Is this crazy or what????

                    a complete reformat and clean install will fix it
