Usually I’m not a friend of this “you have to reinstall a windows once a year”-mentality but I just have reinstalled it. Programs kept crashing randomly, didn’t even bother to start, or – like VLC – would crash if some other program requested to run with evaluated rights.

So now I spent the whole day on installing and configurating software. I really should think about making an image of my system partition when I’m done setting up everything. Should be much faster than formatting and reinstalling everything. Any recommendations for a free partition backup tool?

I really love this feeling of using a fresh naked windows. Especially when you did not install any tools and drivers you need for you everyday work. The system boots in like 30 seconds Of course this will change when I’m done installing all the software I need…
