Yesterday, I was nearing the end of the transfer and rebuild process of moving
my disk and OS to an improved PC. I was having trouble finding an ATI unified
AVstream driver, and finally found what I thought would work at a site that uses
7zip to transfer the program to you. I did the transfer.
Immediately after the transfer, I went into add/remove programs and removed 7zip
and then re-booted.
Suddenly, almost none of the programs on my PC were visible or runable. I had to
find the windows restore program in a very roundablout method, but it would not
run either. I ended up throwing away a long days work, and restoring the drive
with the backup I made just before the project, and putting it back into the
origional PC until I can find more time.
I found several descriptions of similar problems online. Apparently,
uninstalling 7zip can really hose your registry.
Are there any major driver download sites that still just let you download the
file and not install a program to do the download which doesn't even let you
store it where you want to?
