    You have no disks. If you format it, how will you get an operating system to install on it?

      As plodr has said if you format the HDD you have no way of reinstalling Windows, two options, order the recovery media as also suggested by plodr or try and free up enough storage space on the HDD so that Windows can update.

      Start by uninstalling any old games or unused programs and downloading then running the MBAM uninstall tool, download here once done, go to step two below;

      Please download MINITOOLBOX and run it.

      Checkmark the following boxes:

      Flush DNS
      Reset FF proxy Settings
      Reset Ie Proxy Settings
      Report IE Proxy Settings
      Report FF Proxy Settings
      List content of Hosts
      List IP configuration
      List Winsock Entries
      List last 10 Event Viewer log
      List Installed Programs
      List Users, Partitions and Memory size
      List Devices (problems only)

      Attach the results to your next reply for us please.

              It should be possible on your computer as it is pretty modern spec, too soon for you to be worrying about reinstalling anything atm as you do not even have installation media.

              What happens exactly, uninstalling Adobe would not affect your hardware.

              On the notebook concerned you can do neither.

                  From my reply #17;

                  MBAM is shown to be causing you this latest problem, it was suggested a couple of days ago that it should be uninstalled using the correct procedure at the link provided, was this done.

                  Try restarting the computer while tapping the F8 key to see if you are able to get into Safe Mode only (No Networking) let us know the outcome.

                  Regarding a clean install, the problem that you have atm is that you do not have any Windows media and the computer being an OEM brand name means that you cannot download an ISO direct from Microsoft and that Acer are responsible for offering the end user support, that is where the recovery media that plodr mentions comes in, purchasing the appropriate Windows 7 recovery media (if still available) from Acer would be far less expensive than purchasing Windows 7 from Microsoft.

                  Also to keep in mind, there is a question mark over the legitimacy of the present Windows 7 Ultimate OS that is on the computer, with the computer powered down, take a look on the base of the computer for an OEM - Acer Microsoft Windows 7 product key sticker like the example in the attachment below, if not on the base, remove the main battery and check there as the stickers are sometimes placed there on notebooks so that they do not get worn away.

                      If you cannot even get into Safe Mode then you definitely have to have Windows 7 media.

                      What version of Windows 7 does it say on the sticker.

                          You can try using the product key off the notebook to download a Windows 7 ISO from here but I strongly suspect that you may be told to contact Acer.

                              To get the media from Acer you will need the SNID (serial number identification) see info here

                              There is another way of legally obtaining an ISO but it involves a bit of work, see info at HeiDoc.net here
