    Cannot remove a folder


    Motim, I did have system with the same processor (assuming E7200 and motherboard with P35 chipset) till last Summer, and it was perfectly capable of running Windows version 1703. Also ATI 3450 is old and basic, but working with drivers in latest Windows 10.

    I would try to check Startup programs for beginning and then run Rkill and ADWcleaner to check if any processes were left by your assistance.
    Next is System refresh with in-place upgrade, or if you have some kind of backup, clean install.

    Let us know, if you want help doing this.

    Also, FreeBooter advice is worth trying.

    Hello,
    Thanks for all the answers and your concern about.
    The main problem I do not have the installation disk. The system was installed by a computer's tech, and it turned out he wasn't honest.
    So I decided to by a new pc, with the installation disk, licence and registration.
    And after that, you will show me how to update my system's spec on this forum.
    Thanks again

    Cannot remove a folder

    Hello,
    Thanks, but it was done some time ago at least 5 times and it did not work. Spent several evenings only on this.
    I am tired to do it again. Waiting to buy a new one.
    Thanks
