Windows 7 Ult 64 bit trapped by BSD and can not get out.
Boggin:
Are you aware of the recently publicised threats of Meltdown and Spectre and MS update KB4056894 to counter them in Win 7 ?
This may not be an immediate threat, so the newer update is optional.

Intel are vulnerable to Meltdown and Intel are supposed to be working on a firmware/BIOS update to counter this.

Third party antivirus programs should have modified this key for the update to be compatible., but can be manually checked.

Thanks, much, Boggin. I am following up with Del now.

VIDEO FIXED! Will be trying to fix OS this week.
Boggin, I found this free today.
Looks very good and free today:

Seems better than AOMEI.
Boggin:
I use Windows own create a system image on my Win 7 laptop but use Macrium Reflect Free on my two Win 10 laptops.
That is because MS are deprecating the Win 7 system image that can be used on Win 10.
Macrium doesn't overwrite the previous image and you can use it for differential back ups of files, although I just use it for system images.
Is that a lifetime free licence on that program or just for 12 months ?
As a recap, what problems are you still experiencing with your OS now that you've got your graphics sorted ?

Howdy Boggin,
I spoke too soon. I was impressed with the German precision, etc. They responded for support pretty well, but it ran for 2 days and had another 3 days to go for my 2 TB C drive with no compression, etc. That long is too long for backup, IMO.
So, I am back to AOMEI Backupper, but still get the 4098 error with no real explanation from AOMEI. So, I am at a loss to proceed without making another full back as the one I made when i first started is to old. I will look at Marcum again. I will keep you posted.
