Will Restore fix system problems?
Hi: I did a full backup in January. I'm having some serious system problems involving permissions to use folders; ability to install some programs and other stuff. I'm unable to fix any of this so far. At the moment, I'm thinking of either a clean install of Windows 7 or use my last full backup (which, although a long time ago, really isn't too bad a date -- at least I know it was before the problems started).
Anyway, will this solve my problems? Will it only restore data and programs and not system files? This particular disk has only programs, the system (W7). Most all work data is on another disk.
thanks,
George

A restore wil repalce everything on the disk with the contents of the backup.
My suggestion would be to try the restore first. If that is not the solution, then you could reinstall the os and then restore C only to get it bafk to what it was on day of backup.
Check link #3 below which includes items #2 (disk option restore) and #3 which is the restore of C only.

Thanks to both of you for answers. I'll try the restore first and see what happens.
