    from 7 to 8 then back to 7 but 7 dosen't work properly

    1.Browser dosen't have File,Edit,View,Tools,Favorites or Help section.
    2.Can not copy and paste in browser
    3.I have no right click commands
    4.Delete button doesn't work in browser.
    and last but not least...I thought I would go back to 8 to fix it but it will not load over 7.

    malmzakk--#1 Click a blank spot on the toolbars|click on Menu bar. If that does not work, click Alt.
    However the other items suggests you have more basic problems.
    Have you scanned for anti virus/spyware?
    Are these problems something new? If so try a System Restore to a date before the problems started.

    Try running the System File Checker. Go to Start and type "cmd" without the quotes, then right-click cmd.exe and choose "Run as Administrator". Once at the Command Prompt, type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes. You may need your Windows 7 disc, though most of the time you don't.

    Sorry, I assumed you were running Windows 7 for some reason. What version of Windows are you using?

    The default browser for Win7 is IE8. You can't install IE7 on Win7.

    Click Start, Run, and then enter "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes) in the Run box. Have your XP CD handy in case it is needed.

    No no, you may need your Windows 7 CD/DVD when running the "sfc /scannow" cmd on Windows 7, (not your XP CD).

    If you are running WinXP, then you can use a borrowed disc as long as it is the same type, ie it must be a Home disc with Home and Pro with Pro, and you can only use an OEM disc with an OEM copy of Windows and a Retail disc with a retail copy.
