windows 7 ultimate - after malware, no icons, no right menu, no c-n-p, no profil
Boggin:
I'm sorry to hear about the pending death in your family - you can carry out your computer repairs whenever it is convenient to you.
I'll still be here for any additional help you may require.
There'll be no charge for the disks as the postage costs are minimal.
The original ISO was for Pro but with the eicfg file removed, it covers from Basic to Ultimate so should pick up your version of Windows and the product key when entered will validate it as Ultimate.
For some reason they fail to complete a repair install on my Toshiba Win 7 x64 Home Premium laptop but other forum members have successfully used the disks to perform a repair install.
There is another free program which may be better to obtain your product key and that is Speccy.
It's listed as Serial Number when you click on Operating System when it has finished analysing.

The alternative to a repair install which may resolve is the sfc /scannow as I've described when you boot up with the install disk.

I was able to perform a repair install on my Win 7 machine yesterday - I think previously I must have been using a pro disk without the eicfg file removed.
On this occasion I was given an option to select the version I wanted to repair.
However, on completion I was prompted to reinstall .NET Framework v4.0 although none of the others who have used my disks had reported any problems.
Don't forget to use the free version of Speccy to obtain your product key.

I forgot about Speccy (smacks forehead) - I have it loaded in my utilities section. So I have recovered it; although, I still like to know where I put my original disk and key.....
The family death occurred yesterday late afternoon so, by the time I got back it was late and I didn't really feel like working on anything. I have taken this morning off from my usual routines so I'm going re-try loading the windows disk I have and seeing if the sfc will work (different disk than I tried before, this disk appear to be my original backup clone of the disk I can't find but the notes on it appear to date it to when I would have done something like this before. In any case, I have a few hours to use before I have to go off and do family stuff.
If anything major happens, I'll drop you a note.
Boggin:
Again, my condolences for your recent bereavement.
I sent those Universal install disks off to you today, but if you already have an Ultimate install disk then you can boot up with it and perform the sfc /scannow cmd as I've described and if that doesn't resolve then perform a repair install.

Okay, things got weirder. I ran Speccy and it worked but I was pressed for time so didn't bother to copy the output, assuming I could do it the next day when I had more time. The next day, the program wouldn't run and I attempted to reinstall it -- which also didn't work. In your list of key-readers, is there any that can run in a portable fashion?
