I have a computer using Windows 7 that recently crashed. I attempted to do a system restore to a previous point and got a message that an unexpected error occurred during system restore. I did the computer check up and it passed. I also ran the start-up repair tool and got a message that said that it cannot repair this computer automatically. I am backing up all my files. So the next step (I guess) is to do a system recovery which will lose all my programs. Is there other step I can take to try to re-boot before I do this? Also, when I do the back-up, will it copy the files I have downloaded, such as Adobe and iTunes? I know I will have to reinstall, but are the setup files saved? Also, if I do the system recovery, will my FIOS work or do I need to re-load anything?
Even though it is out of warranty, I would consider having someone come look at it, but not sure if that would be worth it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
