Why did you have to do the repair in the first place?

Were you getting blue screens, error massages, etc.

Was this a "clean" install or an upgrade.

I posted in this forum last week (Need help with windows back up),
that I encountered a problem with backing-up windows, and admin rights issues when I'm trying to save files into regular folders (all the screenshots in the link above).
Also, after I ran the sfc /scannow command, some nice dude told me that there's a problem that this command can't fix and I should do repair install.
Anyway, I did repair install (using upgrade).
I didn't check to see if the problems went away yet.

Most all of us agree that a "clean" install is the only way to go.An upgrade leaves useless files on your system and can cause conflicts (which you are seeing now)

Copy all your important Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos,etc to a flash drive,

Be aware, you will have to re-install all your 3rd party applications.

Well, I'm sure that upgrade isn't all that bad. I don't want to reinstall. but I do know that there must be a fix to this problem.

Actually, the upgrade is bad, but..............

Go to Start > Run, and type msconfig, click the Startup tab and uncheck everything except your anti-virus scanner, Spyware detector, and personal firewall if you have one.

How many icons do you have on your desktop?

Why is it bad? I didn't upgrade from win-xp nor vista.

I have in the startup: ESET (NOD32), Realtek (Audio), Microsoft desktop gadget, Rocket dock and Catalyst (ATI).
On my desktop I have only 5 icons.

Could you better explain that sentence?

I've given the reasons why the upgrade route is not the best method to go in my previous post.

With only 5 icons on the desktop, I don't understand why that would be happening.

I believe it's due to Rocket Dock as that sucks up the most resources.

I already had Windows 7 64bit installed when I did the upgrade. I did it with the help of this post: Repair Install - Windows 7 Forums
So it's basically a repair install, not pure upgrade from old system to a new one.

How much resources does rocketdock consume?
