Do an upgrade install.

Doing a Repair Install as the other poster suggested would not be a good

idea. You need to troubleshoot the cause of this situation and you've not

given us any information with which to do so.

 

Please look at these links to see what details you need to include in your

next newsgroup post so we can help you:

In the meantime:

 

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things

worked and the time they didn't?

 

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus

status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and

versions) did you use to determine this?

 

Be sure the computer is clean:

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair

shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If

possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a

shop.

Why is it not a good idea? If it doesn't work then the OP can go through the

tedious troubleshooting process.

Because it is doubtful that it will help. Doing a repair install over a

badly infected/damaged system will not fix it. Besides, you made

assumptions without having any information from the OP on which to base

them. For all we know, this could be a 6-year-old computer which suffered a

major power failure and now has a completely corrupted OS. Etc. That's why.

You still don't make sense, but then again, you don't have to. The MVP

status automatically makes you right.

Backup all important files and folder in your current user profile to a

storage media like CD/DVD.Then Create New user account and delete your old

one .Use the backup to restore all your files back to your profile.

I don't make sense because I disagree with you? Your response is just to

insult someone, eh? Doesn't make you look good. Not that I care, you're

going in my killfile anyway.

 

I'm not going to argue with you, but I will take the time to put this in

very simple terms you will understand:

 

When you are troubleshooting, you don't just plunge in and try things in a

scattershot fashion. Successful troubleshooting needs to be systematic and

careful. Here is a typical troubleshooting triage:

 

1. Ask client (or in this case OP) for the recent history of the machine. Do

this with the full understanding that they may not know or they may lie

because they're embarrassed. If you can find out anything, it will help

narrow down the troubleshooting path.

 

2. Ask client (or in this case OP) if the data is backed up and if it needs

to be. Always make sure the data is secured before starting major repairs.

Oh, and this would include a Repair Install.

 

3. Based on #1, #2, and examination of machine (hands-on examination is

obviously not possible in a newsgroup), take/make logical troubleshooting

steps.
