Windows Repair wont install

<< < (2/2)

As advised, I tried the portable version and the exe file ran okay.

Ran Option 2 which highlighted some issues which I updated.

Option 3 got me to run a boot-up check disk.

Did not try Option 4.

Ran Repair which completed but come up with quite a few error messages during the process. Are details recording in a log file?

I rebooted my laptop and everything seems okay. Speccy.exe/Piriform now runs without any error message.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Forgot to ask.

If my laptop has not got a genuine version of Windows can I still install SP3?

Thanks

Something I have just noticed is that all my Word documents were linked to open with WordPad and not Word.  I have amended this.

Sounds like everything is good to go :-)

I thought I removed that, it is from the repair new sub menu, it puts back the default registry keys and for some reason changes the doc file to open with wordpad again. Easy fix is to just right click on a doc file, go to open with, click choose default program, choose word and put a check on make this the default and its all fixed.

I will double check that I removed that from the repair.
