Do you need a clean install?????

There are times when it is just about impossible to FIX what is wrong with your operating system. After many hours of frustrating attempts to get your computer working properly you may decide it's time to just start from scratch and do a clean install.

The most important thing to realize before performing a clean installation of Windows is that all of the information on the drive that Windows is currently on (probably your C: drive) will be destroyed during this process. That means that if there's anything you want to keep you should back it up to a CD or another drive prior to beginning this process. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself DON'T DO IT.

A clean install can take a couple of hours even if everything goes perfectly. Call me if you have any questions.
