cluberti Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Does it always happen when using Google Chrome, or does it happen when using, say, Internet Explorer as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerwizkid Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Happens on just about all save/open dialogs.Not just Chrome.Is there anyway i can reinstall while keeping all apps,users,and files??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well, you should be able to do an upgrade install using the Vista media - that will "upgrade" Windows and keep your settings and (most) programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computerwizkid Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well,the upgrade option was disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Did you try to upgrade from within Windows itself? Also, is this a retail disc or is it a disc from the computer manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerwizkid Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) I tried from inside win and i booted from the dvd.This is a Reinstallation Disk from Dell.And i cant reinstall 7(i deleted it from my pc a couple of months ago cuz i was getting ready for the RC) on an different partition since the partitioner in vista is stupid and keeps saying "Access is Denied." I can only get 7gb out of the free space.I have like over 300gb free on my main partition.Help me!!! Edited June 3, 2009 by computerwizkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 You need to acquire a *real* install CD. That DVD from Dell can only be used for regular installs, and not for upgrades. That is why it does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
