I really don't know why MS even offers the possibility of an in-place upgrade. Even when it seems like it has worked, problems can crop up later.

I would not advise doing in-place upgrades altogether unless you have
perhaps one or two pieces of software installed that will work the same
after the upgrade. Always do a clean install if you can. You'll save
time and bother fixing problems that would otherwise be avoided by a
clean install. Just some friendly advice.

I think I've fixed this one. My windows 7 was an upgrade from vista.
Along with the subject problem, I also had problems with sound going
away and windows randomly needing to reboot. It was always nice about
it, it would say it had to reboot in one minute. Anyway, I finally had
enough and reinstalled from scratch on a different drive. So far, none
of the three problems have come back. Doing all this work was not
pleasant, but it was definitely worth doing, and I'd recommend it for
anyone who has upgraded and is experiencing problems they can't solve.
