Don' worry about the advance mode. What do you mean you can't check any boxes or see any boxes?

All mirrors are the same, as long as you have v1.9.7 then you are fine :)

Sorry about the confusion. There used to be an advanced mode but the program changed but I just didn't fix the canned speech. The "advance mode" is now under "start repairs' tab.

If you click the Start Repairs tab, click start and it will take you to the page , similar to the picture I posted earlier. From there, you can uncheck those 2 settings from the list of things. The program won't actually "Start", when you click Start on the start repair page, it is very misleading.

The first time I used this program, I had the same worry. I couldn't figure out where I can select the settings so I decided to be courageous and clicked start and VIOLA :p

Yea sorry, I haven't updated that picture for a while. The tool updates frequently :p

All those settings shouldn't have a negative impact on your settings.

I unchecked them but can redo it in the a.m. I did notice that it had a lot of "FAILED" occurring so I also need to add that the virus protection i use was off, but WINDOWS FIREWALL was still on and i didnt know.. not sure if that is why it was saying that, we will figure it all out tomorrow, have a great night.
