Unknown Vista Problems??

I have a laptop running Vista Home 32bit. The last couple of weeks it's been acting strange. When I click on ANY icons on the desktop it always seems to open the recycle bin. I tried to rename it to another name hoping it would solve the issue just in case it was a virus. There was no luck in doing that. I also deleted the recycle bin and restored it completely and nothing happens. The control-alt-delete feature also stopped working as well. I started to wonder if spyware or virus had triggered something. So, I ran spyware programs and scanner for viruses and nothing. I decided to back up all documents and pictures to a backup server on my network. HP has a recovery mode and I used the recovery manager to format and reinstall everything on the computer (This is from the recovery drive). It performed all updates and I restored the backed up documents and pictures. Right now, after all completed updates and it started to do that same thing again with the recycle bin and now having trouble with internet explorer scrolling funny when viewing ANY websites. The boot manager is now showing up after I unchecked it on the system startup settings. It's always now asking if I want to continue and select Vista as the operating system at each reboot. I can get to the task manager but doing control-alt-****-esc. I also installed firefox and doesn't seem to have an issue but I'm wondering why its not working correctly. I did a chkdsk c: in safe mode and there was no bad sectors found. Any ideas? I also tested the mouse pad vs. 2 different wireless mouses thinking it was a bad mouse, but nothing. Maybe I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

It did find something. However, it says unable to fix some of the corrupted files. I'm not sure if I can copy and paste it without losing any data that maybe useful to you. Just let me know. I'm running it again. Why would this happen after a recovery attempt was made?

If after you run it two or 3 times more, it contiunes to say that, we can try a repair install if you have the Vista DVD.

No DVD try the system restore from at least a week before the time the problem started

I only have the recovery drive. There is not Vista install disc. I reformatted from there and install. This problem has happened after and before the reformatting.

Can I do this though I reformatted the drive? I tried a restore prior to reformatting and still not working.
