    Dialogue box text throughout the system is blacked out.


    Hi all,
    after the latest occurrance of this I got really annoyed but thankfully I refrained from throwing the laptop through the window.

    Instead I did another System Reset. This took about an hour but afterwards I realised lots of things had changed (Mail etc.)

    Could my initial problems have been caused by the "Anniversary Update" not loading correctly?

    So far (famous last words) everything seems to be ok. Not enjoying having to completely re-personalise the system though!!!

    Hello, you will find it helpful to start using disk imaging, which everyone should use- so many advantages, strongly recommended here.

    So you create an image/images of your disks/partitions when your PC is working.

    Something goes wrong which you can't fix even with tech support- or you don't want to waste the time trying.
    Restore the last image(s) you created.

    Your disk fails, you buy a new one, replace it. Clean install? No..
    Restore the last image(s) you created.

    Your PC is unbootable:
    Restore the last image(s) you created.

    Want to recover data you've lost?
    Get it from the image(s) you created.

    Obviously this can't help if you have other hardware faults.

    What do you need?
    E.g. Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage.

    Means you can take a small step back, then go forward again. Much quicker than Reset and setting everything up again.. much less stressful.. much lower chance of losing data.
