notachance

Just in case there's an expert around, here are more
observations.

Some icons will start apps properly, others won't. The
system tries, and the arrow cursor gets an hourglass for
a couple of seconds and then it returns to an arrow.
Shortcut doesn't matter.

Sidebar takes a long time to load.

Canon printer is inoperative - SETUP and PRINT look
okay, and then there's a box that says "Printer
inoperative". I reloaded the driver and also the Vista
patch, with no change.

Boot, shutdown, and restart are all okay now - speed is
reasonable.

I really, really, REALLY need to restore to a few days ago!
