The program worked flawlessly on my laptop. However...I'm having major issues with my PC, which has been severely messed up for months. And it was the real reason I bought My Passport to begin with.
First of all, My PC is extremely slow. I've used Avast, Malwarebytes, and CCleaner on it and while malwarebytes detected and removed a lot of issues, it's still messed up.
CCleaner helped at first, but...I think the registry cleaner actually messed it up pretty bad...I made a backup of the registry...But all I get is errors when I try to restore it.
Device Manager doesn't work anymore either.
I have to Use Defraggler to defragment and File Shredder to delete files and programs because I can't do either normally.
So, I want to backup all my files and reformat. The past 6 years of my digital life is on this thing and I NEED TO BACK IT UP.
I also have lots of private projects on it as well, so I don't trust it with a Technician (Not to mention, All the computer Tech's around here only have two solutions for EVERYTHING: Reformat or New Parts)
ANYWAYS. The SmartWare software will install, but not run on my PC. So...I can't backup the files. I even updated it and it still didn't work. (I have no internet on the PC so I have to transfer via My Passport)
Most programs that aren't a part of the OS work fine though, despite being slow to initialize.
I know I can drag and drop files, but there's soo much stuff that there is no way I'd get it all.
So basically, I need either a fix to Smartware, or a free program that saves ALL your files to the Portable HDD. Also...I don't want to make an image of the HDD, I just want the files...If I make an image, then all the problems will still be there when i Install it...
Anyways, I'd be eternally grateful to anyone who could help.
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU
4GB RAM
GeForce Graphics Card...can't remember specific model...
Sorry, that's all I got. Like I said, most things that involve looking into the system Freeze or give errors.
