    Follow Rosco's suggestion and if that doesn't work and it probably will then try the other suggestions to start form scratch

    I'm also receiving the same message. I restored Wat2.5 restarted the computer and then removed Wat and now get a black desktop. My copy of Windows 7 Professional has worked flawlessly for 7 months prior to this. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite M30. Remove Wat is the only thing that has worked in the past. Any suggestion?

    Yes they are backed up but if you restore a few months later you will overwrite all new emails e.c.t unless you have backed those up separately.

    7 works fine! What kind of problems are you refering. It is always a good idea to back up whatever :eek:
