    Achronis True Image. Do a fresh install. Install oll your programs, and apply all your customizations and tweaks. Then create a backup image!! Save this and do not overwrite it. From here on out create backup images but allways keep the fresh install. Also keep backups of all your data you don't want to lose. Make regularly scheduled backups a habit and part of your disaster prevention program!
