Sorry to hear it didn't work.

I have an SSD but only 120Gb. I use Paragon Drive Image to create drive images (backups). I have additonal HDD's one of these is my backups drive.

I have a standard activated install of Windows 7:
Windows_Baseline

I then installed Steam/CLoD, Saitek TQ drivers, G940 Drivers and loaded my profiles. Adjusted in game Keys/Axis to suit.
Saved this as CLoD_Baseline.

Loaded my Windows Baseline back in.

I then installed Steam/Skyrim. Installed Logitech G13 drivers and loaded my profiles.
Saved this as Skyrim_Baseline.

It takes approx 10 minutes to load each Baseline if I hit snags. A bad Windows update or ATI driver update for example. I just load in the last baseline and I am back to a working copy. Which saves having to re-install everything from scratch.

Sometimes, as games progress, or ATI drivers install and all is well, I will just save an additional "In progress backup".

Of course, depending on how old your original Windows Baseline save is depends on how many Windows updates you will have to download if you ever need to restore it.

Equally, you don't have to bother downloading any updates (and potential problems) if all you do with that particular backup is play whatever game you have installed.

Works for me anyway.

Sadly backing anything up has just never been an option for me..... got royally "fishsticked" by the recession and just haven't managed to find a job since so I not only have no hard drive to back anything up onto but no money to even buy a hard drive to solve that problem. Of course the real stinker is that, one of these days I am hoping someone will decide I'm not "over qualified" or "Too good" for the job and then I won't actually have any time to use my PC anyway. lol

Sucks eh?

I just can't understand why CCC can suddenly stop working and, no matter how many times I reinstall it, the same old problem is still there....... I would kill for an Nvidia card right now. lol
