Hi all, I am just recovering from a crash, blue screen nightmare .... aaaaahhhhh!! HP Pavilion dv4, win 7 x64, that I keep pretty updated. It's an older laptop but has worked hard and been reliable. I regularly create MS "rescue disks" and macrium backups, and have a large external drive for back ups, so I didn't lose to much data.
Had just done a couple of months worth of MS updates (I fell a bit behind ...) an all was good. My HitmanPro Alert is private beta, also been working very nicely for me.
I like "system restore" - when it works!! So, installed RxRollback, aaaannd ... blue screen, dang. PC hell commenced, as system restore wouldn't work, nor safe boot. The "rescue disks" were a joke. I dreaded an OS re-install, but finally installed a MS pc back-up from Nov 2015. And with Macriums rescue cd "mini-explorer", moved docs to the external drive.
So, my questions, and hopefully some considered thoughts: think there's a conflict with HitmanProA and RxRollback? Any suggestions for free recover programs? I did lose some data I'd rather recover if possible.
